The base directory transition is now in master.

Once again, please be mindful not to mix versions of Evolution and the
addressbook and calendar factory daemons.

The migration should be nearly instantaneous.  It's just a series of
directory renames and a few config file renames.  Each of the three
binaries will print equivalent UNIX shell commands ("mv" and "rmdir") to
the terminal along with any errors encountered to help track migration
progress.  This output is valuable for debugging migration issues.

Please let me know immediately if you encounter any regressions.  If
there -are- regressions I expect they will be caused by Evolution not
finding some data, either because the data failed to migrate or because
Evolution is still looking for migrated data in its old home.  In either
case the data should still be present on your hard disk.
