I have no objection to moving Subversion.
I would suggest that the right way to proceed would be ala the
conversion to Bugzilla; figure out how to do the conversion, and do it,
producing a version of the repository in subversion format. Let people
play with that a bit, including doing dummy check-ins to validate post
check-in scripts, updating (new versions of) our web pages, etc., and
then convert to it after the kinks are worked out.
I would not recommend trying to get the rest of the "src" repository on
board at this time. It would be nice to have a plan for doing that, at
some point, but that's a level of coordination that I would not
recommend imposing on ourselves.
