Benign neglect has worked well so far <wink>.

Yes.  If you want to change that, the first thing to do is "svn switch" to
the current Zope3 versions, and run the --all ZODB tests, to make sure
everything still works.  Then (very important!) "svn switch" back to ZODB's
versions.  After that your sequence is almost right:

> $ svn rm src/zope/interface 
> $ svn rm src/zope/testing 

At this point you have to commit.  That's where checkin messages like
"Preparing to stitch in current versions of x, y, z" come from.  svn gets
unhappy if you try to do both rm and cp before you commit.

> $ svn cp ../Zope3/src/zope/interface src/zope
> $ svn cp ../Zope3/src/zope/testing src/zope

And at this point (of course) you need to commit again.

Note that the ZODB trunk is for ZODB 3.4 development at this point.  Bugfix
releases for 3.3 (3.3.1, 3.3.2, ...) will be developed on the 3.3 branch
(repos/main/ZODB/branches/3.3).  Like all the other "module stitching" under
SVN, the copies of src/zope pieces under ZODB trunk and branch are
independent.  This is easy to see today, because the ZODB 3.3 branch doesn't
have any src/zope pieces.
