Of course
There is a basic how to guide for CVS users on the wiki, at 
http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/SvnHelp

It has been there since February, and the repository it references for the 
same
amount of time.

Once the new test repo is ready (As i've mentioned before, the apple 
branches take a while
to convert, it looks like another 5 hours is still left), i will update it 
with the gcc.gnu.org location.

You'll also note that for those wanting to test anonymous rsync, rsync 
gcc.gnu.org:: now shows a gcc-svn to rsync from.
(You can start now if you want, i've been rsync'ing it from my machine as 
it converts.  Obviously, until it's completely finished, the repo you get 
won't be complete, but you won't need to retransfer anything that you 
rsync now, since all the existing revisions are immutable)

I plan on updating these pages, using the current text on the wiki (It was 
written by a combination of Giovanni and I), as far as the edit history 
shows.

We have one mirror site who mirrors our CVS.  That was one of the people i 
copied
on the last status email.
