[KLUG Members] switching to subversion from CVS, quick ?'s

[Dirk H Bartley]

Back from vacation and catching up.

My experience with bringing cvs history into subersion is that it worked
incredibly well.  My advice would be to give it a try, if it does not
work as hoped, nothing lost because you have already said the history is
not that important to you.  I still think it would be nice to have.

What you are describing sounds like it would work.  Uninstalling cvs
would not be necessary other than to open up some disk space.
