This page contains notes related to GRASS code migration (planned) from CVS to SVN.
Basic
- The SVN command line interface is just like CVS, many tasks are identical- just change the program name from cvs to svn.
Gotchas
- 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 ...).
