Translated manuals rely on cvs revision numbers, as with boot-floppies,
so this change will be pretty painful here. I see 2 solutions:
a) Automatically replace cvs revision numbers of original files in
translated documents with svn revision numbers. Not sure if this
can be done.
b) Or generate a list of revision numbers for each files of the
original manual when it is switched to svn (it should be doable,
but no idea how). Translators could first update their translated
documents to the final cvs HEAD (yes, after the switch to svn,
which means that cvs must not be disabled), then import their
translations into svn, and in each file replace cvs revision
numbers by svn ones at switching time.
