Bernhard,
we would like to do the SVN migration rather sooner than later.
We offer to play with a full snapshot of the CVS repository here locally
(kindly receiving a copy from you) and try to migrate it here at IRST
in a local server to see how it works for branches etc.

Then we'll report back and give suggestions for the real migration
(which could be on "wald" or, if that's not possible, some OSGeo
infrastructure).
Since the bugtracker is already running on "wald" and svn also there,
it might be natural to keep the GRASS source code there, too, for the time
being.

Please let us know if you could package the CVS repository server-side into
a tarball.

Thanks,
Markus
