all favored SVN to some degree or another, and beyond the "not worth
the effort" the fact that switching from CVS to SVN requires
relatively minimal changes to tools was the main reason it seemed to
be prefered.
But in any event, I don't particularly care which we switch to;
whoever decides one way or the other has to do the work to actually
port the tools.
Can we get a list of the tools that we're talking about here so people
who want to test a migration actually know what they're working with?
Are we just looking at the following?
check_desc_trans.pl
check_links.pl
check_trans.pl
copypage.pl
i18nwwwfix.pl
karma.pl
make_all.pl
make_links.pl
remove_stale.pl
smart_change.pl
stattrans.pl
touch_files.pl
touch_translations.pl
