Most of you may have already read it on -boot. If so, please ignore this mail.
As, however, some of you don't read -boot, this may be more interesting information to you about the SVN move for Debian Installer.
If you happen to have problems with SVN, please ask (preferrably on -boot). If you can't commit, then post your changes in -boot with th [l10n:xx] marker. Someone will certainly commit them.

A few things on the move.
I suggest everyone read the top-level repository README: http://svn.debian.org/viewcvs/d-i/README
.cvsignore files have been converted to svn:ignore properties, and svn:keywords has been enabled on every file in the tree that has an Id keyword.
The web page and README have been updated for subversion. Other stuff may still need tweaking.
The repository got wedged several times today. This should not happen with subversion 1.0, and I suspect it is because of poor and hackish permissions setup on alioth. See this trouble ticket: http://alioth.debian.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=300579&gr...
We still need to work out how to handle the manual's translations, which use cvs revision numbers.
Bastian Blank has a sample reorganised tree in people/waldi in preparation for moving stuff around in the main tree in that way. Feel free to add your own subdirs to people for your own stuff.
The old tags from cvs are in tags/fromcvs, and they are quite a mess, cvs2svn did not deal with partial tree tags well. It will be a large job to sort them out. Likewise, branches/fromcvs has a number of old branches. If you know an old branch is not being used it would be ok to remove it.
