What will happen to the (revision number based) hyperlinks to patches in Bugzilla and the gcc-cvs mailing list archive like the following: http://gcc.gnu.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/gcc/gcc/reg-stack.c.diff?cvsroot=gcc&r1=1.188&r2=1.189 Will they still point to something useful? If not, that would render the whole gcc-cvs archive list useless. :-( Well, this is a question for the cvs to svn conversion in general, but gets more complicated with your merge of the cvs repositories.
