Re: [wxCode-users] Moving wxCode components from CVS to SVN?

[PGridDev <pgr...@ya...>]

Hi Ulrich, Francesco & all  --I'll take this as a request for comments!

I am pro-Subversion (for me an obvious improvement), although my component is still under CVS. I also agree that having 2 different repositories makes little sense other than during a transition phase.

My only objection / concern is with history: components under CVS are logically the older ones, and in some cases (like mine) were inherited from other developers. The comments in CVS (assuming our predecessors have commited with comments) are sometimes the only information available as to why something was implemented in a certain way.

Therefore I am in favor of a migration CVS ==> SVN which ideally includes migrating history, at least in a dedicated branch; obviously more effort, and I have never done it myself.
Now, to be honest, I had to go through the comments & history only once...

Happy to let you & the rest of the wxCode community decide, this was just some input.

Cheers,
Ronan
