Re: [wxCode-users] Moving to subversion ?

[<jb...@um...>]

If we do move from CVS to Subversion, could we wait until a little 
while after Sourceforge fixes its CVS issues?  Personally, I know that 
I have a lot of changes that I've been trying to check in since last 
week and I'd like a chance to check those in before a transition as big 
as this.

On a side note, does anyone have a Subversion client recommendation for 
Linux?  I've been using the Cervisia integration in Konqueror for CVS, 
but I don't think that it supports Subversion.  I've seen eSvn and 
RapidSvn, but maybe there are others (or maybe those are good enough in 
themselves).

Thanks.
