Subversion can generally be used as a 'superset' of CVS, and quite a bit of the command line is identical, particularly for the common uses you've probably got coded into your tools (ie: checkout, update, commit), so converting could be as simple as substituting svn for cvs (unless you're using some perl module to directly access CVS w/o using the command-line client). I'm sure there's also a 'wrapper' script available somewhere for most of the less common usages. ...of course, even if the conversion is easy, everything takes some work, and usually more time (especially regression testing!)... > P.S.

Yeah, that's why I figure it's worth it to start keeping a backup rotation of our CVS directory from SF. I'm sure we'll eventually migrate to subversion, but it probably won't be until some critical need forces the issue. :) NOTE: I have overseen the conversion of a very large CVS archive into subversion (the source code for a commercial 3D graphics package), and it's fairly painless using the automated scripts provided with subversion for that purpose. So at least that part *SHOULD* be easy. :) - -- Charles Steinkuehler [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFEPsaILywbqEHdNFwRAhdvAKCqLElKeeaC/Hs9e4+HYOMiSXv57ACg+Mt+ EVlCG3PxvqUhYJDYyNsHrIE= =Rl/d -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
