I plan to do the transition tomorrow, Tuesday may 11. I'll begin at 10am US/Eastern and be done by 5pm US/Eastern. During this time, I ask that no one make checkins to the CVS head for those projects. The first thing I will do is to tag the head with the tag: 'cvs-to-svn-conversion'. When I'm done, I will remove all files from the heads of the preojects in CVS, except README.txt files giving subversion access instructions. Jim Jim Fulton wrote:

Sorry for the false start.
I totally missed a flaw in subversion's handling of text-file line endings. I suspect that this is fixable, but it's not going to be fixed today.
I think that this issue has been "resolved". I have updated my cvs to svn conversion software to set the svn:eol-style property to "native" on text files so that they will get Windows line endings when checked out on Windows and Unix line endings when checked out on Unix-based systems. I've updated the demonstration repository with the results of this conversion. Note that it's possible that existing checkouts will need to be discarded, as I've totallly rebuilt the repository.
To browse the respository:
To do a read-only checkout:
svn co svn://svn.zope.org/repos/main/<project>/trunk
or, to do a writable checkout:
svn co svn+ssh://svn.zope.org/repos/main/<project>/trunk
Developers who add new files will need to set the svn:eol-style property on new text files. There are ways to automate this and we'll provide some guidence on this at:
http://dev.zope.org/Subversion
BTW, someone has done some work on that Wiki, which was a copy of dev.zope.orf/CVS, to convert the CVS references and instructions to refer to and document Subversion instead. Thanks! I think that there is still a good bit of work to do. Volunteer help would be much appreciated.
I'm thinking of trying again to do the cvs to svn conversion of the main-line development branches (cvs heads) on Tusday May 11. This would entail moving ZODB, Zope 2, and Zope 3 head development to subversion (along with ZConfig, zdaemon, and zLOG).
Any objections?
