I think svn is ready for people to try.  As I've noted already, so far the
space/etc. requirements are very unfavorable for us actually using this
long term.  If you want to put a section in it to try anyway, let me know
and I'll set you up with access.  At this stage I'm afraid I can't make a
general checkout available because we simply don't have the bandwidth to
afford a lot of people pulling this tree down.  If we were to somehow
select svn for a long term trial, we'd need to find some way to get around
that issue.

The import was done the same way git was: test is the trunk, and stable-rc,
stable, and devel are branches of that.  All are current to p4 as of 2 or 3
days ago, and each spell was updated in each branch individually so it has
a merge point for its latest update.

svk reportedly is easier on the resources, so hopefully that one will go
better.
