Part of the migration process involves a test deployment that you can then sit and play with.
Looking at POI, you seem to have one codebase so the following strategy looks very likely to be the best:
jakarta/ poi/ branches/ tags/ trunk/
SVN changes the name HEAD to trunk/.
I'm unsure if you'd want src/contrib to be in its own trunk etc; you can do things like:
jakarta/ poi/ core/ branches/ tags/ trunk/ contrib/ branches/ tags/ trunk/
or something; but the first one seems most likely for cvs:jakarta-poi/.
Assuming you fit a nice simple setup, then it would not take a lot of effort to request that the Infra guys setup a test svn repo for POI and then the niggly bits about IDE support could be tested out etc. The request would pretty much be a search+replace on http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta/Regexp_20Subversion_20Conversion.

Will raise my hand during this conversion process as well, access from work will cure boredom (have to be ready for all contingencies!).
Only concern is that I've been weened off the command line cvs by Eclipse and don't want to go back :).

Is CVS being discontinued?
If so, at what point?
Glen, is that a +1 (commitment of effort)?
Consider it a +0.5. Willing to help but not wanting it to take too much effort. Also I don't want anyone else put out by the move to agreement from the other committers is important to me.
Is anyone on POI familiar enough with Subversion to branch, tag and
merge?
Not yet. Learning subversion is something I'm going to have to do as part of my day job anyway since we are switching over there also.
Does IntelliJ support subversion?
There's a plugin for the current version. Apparently it's workable but not as seemless as the current CVS support. The upcoming version of Idea is going to have full support for subversion and they're opening up the source to the CVS and subversion code which is a nice bonus.
What advantage will the POI project gain by switching given that our
directory structure is relatively stable?
Personally I'm looking forward to the ability selectively to merge atomic commits. Tracking merges with tags using CVS is a PITA. Playing nicely with firewalls is also handy when I'm in companies with restricted access to the internet.
As I said though, commitment from all of you is important to me.

Glen
