Re: CVS Modules / SVN Externals

yea, I saw that post about the scalability. I'd be
happy to test new versions. What's the easiest way
for me to learn about new versions?

There's a scalability issue with cvs2svn.py in its use
of ?dbm for local
temporary storage while it's doing the conversion to
produce the dump

want to hold tight,
or even better, volunteer to test fixes :-)

Cheers...
