Hi folks,
This is the kind of email I hate to have to write. We're facing some urgency on a rather important issue: Savannah has been down for two days now, and we're going to have to make some quick decisions to avoid losing any more work time.
This also comes at a point in time when we've decided to pick a new version control system to replace CVS.

Q: What about losing all our version history? A: A move to Google will mean we'll lose our version history, that's true. Personally, I can't imagine we'd want to roll back any of the code in either rel_2_2, dev_week or head.
I have not done anything other than a one-shot quick google search, but you should be able to preserve your history <http://blog.rot13.org/2006/09/how_to_import_subversion_into.html>
I'd like to arrive at a concensus today about this issue if at all possible, so we can get back to work ... so please send your comments/suggestions/flames asap.
Thanks for your efforts, gvb
