You're syncing directly from overlays SVN-HTTP? I hope not with the sync |
| 28 |
frequency of some of the other users out there. |

As you support SVN already, you should just need to change the URL |
| 31 |
(since you are just handing it to SVN), and run svn switch. But ok, I'll |
| 32 |
give you 30 days for /repositories/alt/ once the new overlays box has |
| 33 |
SVN. (Combined with a suitably large warning in the SVN browse view). |

As a migration help, I have enabled the svn:// protocol on the old |
| 36 |
overlays box, so you can make a start on getting your users converted. |
