According to their own FAQs that is not the case. My own personal belief says |
| 19 |
it certainly is not that case. To make a more reasoned case you have to ask |

make the subversion repo backup available for migration of the overlay. I set |
| 25 |
it up as a service for the Gentoo scientific community before any of this was |
| 26 |
available as we were sick of waiting for it to appear... Now it has may be |
| 27 |
