damn, part of the cvs2svn conversion:

knowing that it comes from cvs2svn may help you... or not.

do you best. it will already be good enough to inherit meta-data, and
the more possible history.
however, it's rare to rewind so far in time.

supportive, but not participative ;)
anyway, thanks again for your help Eric!

btw, is your Eaton UPS still working fine?
do you need a replacement, now that we have some newer and better

cheers,
Arnaud
