The subversion server was down yesterday, bu is currently back up and 
accessible at svn.kernel.org (I just did an update). Apparently, the 
subversion repository is actually generated from the CVS one, but it 
uses the CVS timestamp to generate a changeset based on date of commit, 
so working off of either the CVS or SVN one should be equally reliable, 
though it might be easier to use svn since they have already done the 
changeset generation work. If you don't mind reproducing that work 
yourself, the CVS one might be preferable since it is updated quicker 
and is more directly maintained by BiMover.
