8 Haven't tried myself, but it might work keeping the svn-tree in place
9 (create a backup (tarball) instead of moving away) and let rsync just
10 drop the svn-bits ?
11 This should avoid fetching the whole tree again, so Qiangning could
12 still be able to switch to rsync, as it shouln't need hours then -
13 although he would need to sync at regular intervals.
