Couple of thoughts:
- I'm pretty sure importing the Oxford SVN into a SF SVN branch would include all the history from
our SVN.
- To make things more complex, we didn't simply stop committing to Bod at a single point in time. We
always had stuff that was Oxford specific, and then selectively pulled or pushed bits to and from Bod.
- Our release version numbers were based on Bod (starting at 2.6 I think) but we had more releases
so got out of synch.
