If we create a branch in the (svn) source forge repository, how do we 
import the oxford work into that branch while _preserving all the oxford 
check ins and check in notes_.  I'm thinking of putting the branch off 
of the trunk at the date when the oxford rep. started to drift off. 
Obviously it would be easy to put the Oxford head on the branch but then 
everyone would have to go to your svn to trace back edits etc. 

Question 2 - can anyone recommend a good book on SVN?
Question 3 - there are oodles of graphical interfaces to cvs - any 
decent ones for svn now?

Ta,
