I have no objection to moving Subversion.
I would suggest that the right way to proceed would be ala the conversion to
Bugzilla; figure out how to do the conversion, and do it, producing a version
of the repository in subversion format. Let people play with that a bit,
including doing dummy check-ins to validate post check-in scripts, updating
(new versions of) our web pages, etc., and then convert to it after the kinks
are worked out.
The only real problem with this is that i don't have the upstream
bandwidth on dberlin.org.
Other than that, i agree wholeheartedly with how to go about this.
