Talking with pere online, he wants to clean up the locales mess in our patches directory, some of which involves renames. renames have bitten us a few times, and it would be nice to Stop The Madness. It would also allow the deletion of all those empty directories, which makes the cvsweb browsing process maddening. :-) I prefer svn over arch because svn seems to work close enough to cvs that I don't need to spend much time learning it. I also think that the upstream author of arch is an ass, but that should really be only a very minor consideration. =) I found I had almost zero trouble switching from cvs to svn (oh, except that mysteriously I have to run 'svn up' before committing slightly more often than I had to run 'cvs up' before commiting, but it's really fast, so I don't mind).
