[Incubator] PLEASE READ & REPLY: cvs/svn and svn/svn import to OSGeo.org

[Daniel Brookshier]

Hi Arnulf,

The difference now is that I have someone at CollabNet to make this  
happen :o) Sorry this has taken a while.

We should still be able to merge this and we do want to ensure that  
your history is available directly.
