Subversion support on RubyForge

Tom Copeland

Hi all -

RubyForge now supports Subversion! Yup, at long last, we've got all the
pieces in place so that you can use either CVS or Subversion for your
version control.

* You can see how it looks by poking around Curt Hibbs' RubyInstaller
project, which we converted over last week:

http://rubyforge.org/scm/?gr...

* To get your project switched from CVS to Subversion, please put a
cvs-to-svn support request into the FIFO queue:

http://rubyforge.org/tracker/?atid=102&group_id=5&f...

* To start up a new project with Subversion as the version control
system, just select it when you register the project.

* Undoubtedly there will be some "opportunities for improvement" as
folks convert over; as always, we appreciate your feedback and your
patience.

Thanks to Curt Hibbs for helping to troubleshoot this new feature!

Yours,

Tom Copeland

Whoa, awesome.

Man, Tom, is it going to be possible for existing projects to
switch?

Excuse my ignorance, but what the benefit of switching a project from
CVS to Subversion?

Subversion is sort of the heir apparent to CVS; when you use Subversion
you can delete files, rename files, move directories around, and all
sorts of things that are a bit painful with CVS. There are a bunch of
other thoughts on this listed here:

Heh, fortunately, Curt Hibbs let a few of his projects be the test
subjects, so now each conversion is done by a script and takes about 20
seconds. Good times!

Tom
