== Gotchas ==
== Basic ==
 
* cvs2svn is known to break binary files (images) which were not imported into the CVS with the -kb flag. Luckily Glynn fixed most of these some months ago.
 
* Files using keyword substitution, such as $Date$ in the description.html files, will have to have support for that enabled manually, once per file (or write a find routine with | xargs svn ...).
$ svn propset svn:keywords "Date" filename.txt
$ svn commit


* how to maintain timestamps of files? We want to keep the last modification date, not the date of local download
* The SVN command line interface is just like CVS, many tasks are identical - just change the program name from cvs to svn.

  • grass migrated as grass/branches/releasebranch_5_5
  • web migrated as grass-web
  • newsletter will be merged with OSGeo newsletter repository
  • wxPython GUI moved from grass-addons to grass code base (grass/gui/wxpython)
  • gui/wxpython/screenshots removed, can be part of grass-addons (e.g. grass-addons/screenshots/wxpython)
