[Zope-dev] DEFEREDL cvs to subversion transition

[Jim Fulton]

All,

We will *not* to the cvs to subversion transition today. Feel free to
check in against the cvs head.

Tim,

Thanks for trying this out.

It looks like we're not ready to convert yet. :(

We need to sort out the issues you raised.  Clearly, the move to subversion is
going to take longer than I'd hoped.

Let's try to sort these issues out today. If we can, maybe we'll try again tomorrow.
If not, the transition may need to wait a few weeks.

Jim
