Yes, it seems sensible to me as well.  But it also seems like it could 
be a bit painful to extract unless the plan is to just drop all previous 
history and 'svn rm' it from the old repository and 'svn add' it to the 
new one (which I personally think is a bad idea).  Maybe the GNOME 
sysadmins can do svn surgery somehow.
