I would like to have a one stop page for info to help ease the transition and would like it to be a URL I can count on not going dark a few months after I put the video on Youtube.

I started that wiki page to consolidate the complexities of the issue, to help it's resolution.

I'll be happy to make sure that url continues to exist for some time, hopefully, replacing/archiving the page contents once a solution is in place that the FreeBSD community feels is adequate.

Currently, John Mehr has exciting work happening towards a solid "svnup" utility, and I've been off on the ctm list hacking on a "ctmup" stop-gap in shell.

Regardless, I'll do my best to make sure that page keeps up with the issue, and I can make sure the URL is there for at least some months to come.

I just updated the top of the page to tell people the URL is important.

Best,
.ike
