Yes, it sounded horrible to me too at first. But I am running the
migration to local Subversion repositories, one file revision at a time.
After the migration is finished, other users will be given access to the
repository. I have tested the concept manually and there were no
problems. I fear that if a try another solution I will get myself in
worse problems, especially because I am new to Subversion. The nice
thing is that this way, the dates as returned by the svn log command are
meaningful, i.e. reflecting true commit dates.
