The last time we seriously tested svn we found that svn choked on a |
| 6 |
repository the size of the portage tree. The problem w/ arch (and w/ |
| 7 |
metacvs, which would be my preference), is that neither system has a |
| 8 |
good migration utility from cvs. The history of changes that is kept in |
| 9 |
our cvs tree is extremely valuable, and thus any new system that does |
| 10 |
not allow us to keep that history is a non-starter. |
