Our idea at Intevation is to offer our gforge installation with SVN
to GRASS development. We currently ironing out some problems
with gforge (and SVN), before I think it is the best time for a move for GRASS.

Note that the jump to SVN will put some stress on GRASS developers,
as CVS was used the first time for them in GRASS, so there will
be a learning curve.
