It can be done, there's a tool to export and one to import the svn  
repository. It requires admin help, though, i.e., we'd be dependent  
on SourceForge support staff and their prioritization of time to  
assist us with doing this.

I would actually advise against it. It would make public any user or  
account names, host names, and passwords that were ever mistakenly  
committed to the repository.

I'd advise to start with a clean slate that we have convinced  
ourselves is free of cruft (at least as far as entire files are  
concerned), free of information that would make some system  
vulnerable to security breach, and free of bogus, obsolete, or  
inapplicable license information.

You can (and in fact should) still archive a complete dump of the  
current repository at the time of switching to Sf.net in the event  
that you want to go back later and find out about who originated a  
piece of code or to retrieve a file that used to be there but was  
deleted later.
