Re: Help move up to 200 modules to the CVS archive repository

[Glynn Foster <Glynn Foster Sun COM>]

Hey,

I don't understand the need to move all these archived CVS repositories to SVN.
Do we expect that people will want to use them? Seems like a bit of work for
little gain really, other than to get rid of our CVS infrastructure completely.

Can you explain the rationale?
