Are there tools to keep Subversion and CVS repositories synchronized? If that's the case the adaptation of the infrastructure to Subversion could take place in a development branch while your plan is carried out.
Don't know, but I'm sure the infrastructure development can be done in parallel with just a little thought.
I would expect that the switch to subversion itself takes only little time, and requires only little adjustment to existing infrastructure bits (automated checkouts and updates, checkin notifications, etc.). What takes a bit longer is the preparation of the move (but that can be done while a new release is still prepared from CVS), as well as some subsequent cleanup (directory reorganization, etc.) following the move. So, I don't see any need to keep two repositories in parallel, really. I'd be curious to know how easy a switch from CVS to SVN with the current boost repository would be. Douglas, have you attempted to run cvs2svn or similar on the repository ? How much work is needed before the transfer could happen ? Thanks, Stefan -- ...ich hab' noch einen Koffer in Berlin...
