fwiw, i've been able to get good results at migrating the plone repository and branches using the refinecvs migration script http://lev.serebryakov.spb.ru/refinecvs/ the cvs2svn script included with subversion had several issues with branches, although it was a few months ago (prior to svn 1.0) that i last attempted to use it. with a little luck plone will be on svn before the end of the month. i've also setup some one way cvs->svn sync scripts for mirroring zope.org cvs into an svn repository to allow for automated pull of dependencies via svn:externals. -kapil On Mon, 2004-04-12 at 08:44, Sidnei da Silva wrote:
