RE: [Cobertura-devel] Move Cobertura from CVS to Subversion?

[Mark D. <Mar...@sa...>]

Yes, the modifications history will be preserved.  SourceForge has a =
fancy little web-based migration manager where you tell click through a =
few boxes and tell it to migrate your existing CVS repository.  I get =
the feeling it re-enacts every commit, branch, tag, etc.  In the end you =
have a Subversion repo with the same files, same history for each file, =
and you can use ViewVC (the new version of ViewCVS) to browse through =
it.
