I won't start this until i get some feedback from the list.As I understand merging your branch will result in many, many changes. Can you give a prediction how long it will take you to do this? Days, weeks?
Although I fully support your approach of doing it in small steps, it also starts a possibly lengthy period in which the whole codebase is in flux. Doing other modifications during this period might become bothersome.
I surely don't want to give the impression I'm trying to push you because I'd rather have it done slowly and successful than too quickly with lots of complications. But I do think that it is important to have this period as short as possible.
And maybe it might be wise to tag the current code base before this merge is started so there is some common ground to compare with and/or work on. I've no problem having to develop against an older version and have to do some merging or refactoring myself afterwards. For that I would like to have a way of retrieving that version from cvs and not depend on a locally archived version.
