Yes.
wait a day or two for everything to settle
migrate repo to SVN
continue development in SVN; leave CVS frozen
Would it be too much trouble to continue offer basic read access against CVS? Keep it simple for those struggling to provide an occossional patch?
Well, we would need software to collect SVN commits and automatically back-apply them to CVS, ideally with the commit metadata as intact as is reasonably possible.
I don't think that's going to happen unless someone volunteers to write it. I'm not sure it's worth the effort, either -- SVN isn't hard to learn, and I'd say it's easier than CVS for casual users to work with.
