So the easiest way will be to copy the cvs tarball on svn.debian.org.


I diffed the result.

The only real issue is with the sarge/contrib/udbachk.tgz file. It is not
marked as binary in the CVS repository, there was no issue with CVS, but 
with svn, the file is modified and is no more a valid archive.

Christian, can I "cvs admin -kb sarge/contrib/udbachk.tgz" to mark this
file as binary (this indicate that no keyword substitution ($Id:$) should
be performed, and also no DOS to UNIX end of line conversion).
I've tried it at home with the CVS repository tarball and did not noticed
any problem with the CVS and populated SVN repository.

Then, the only differences were:
 * Last Christian commits (BTW, please continue to commit. I wont provide a
   patch, but a list of commands that Christian or Martin will execute, with
   the up to date CVS repository).

 * Some RCS revisions ($Id:$, $Rev:$, ...) in a lot of files.

 * Some file (sid/debian/patches/205_it-manpages.dpatch, whose DOS end of
   lines were changed to the UNIX eol.

These two last differences can be dealt with, but I'm not sure we want
that.
