My plan was to delete the existing SVN /trunk and re-create it
using the exact history of Tim's tla branch axiom--silver--1.

Yes.

That is exactly what the Tailor program does automatically - no
extra labour involved. That is how Tailor manages to transfer the
history from one kind of repository to another.

Well, the procedure that we agreed on (I think) was the Tim
would be solely responsible for committing changes to Silver
(axiom--silver-1 == SVN /trunk). Tim's preferred way to do this
is entirely a manual process - send him patches and copy the
axiom-developer list. Personally I think Tim's decision to do
this a bit misguided in this day and age, but that is another
topic that we discussed many months ago... "old dogs, new tricks",
etc., no need to go into that again. :-)
