For the record, I was opposed for exactly the reasonyou give, but changed my mind.The point is that with several developers there's almost surelysomeone enthusiastic enough about svn to bear the burden of foolingwith the script for a couple of hours to see if it works, a fascistpolicy about migrating account names makes that almost trivial, andafter that it's all gravy: the administration does not look any worse,the security issues are similar, and the change is likely to inciteonly a few people to press for account name changes after the move.-- School of Systems and Information Engineeringhttp://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jpUniversity of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
