I'm all for SVN but what you're asking for, with this mass conversion, is to
pull the rug out from right under everyones feet, which is _very_ impolite,
causes unecessary confusion, anoyment and anger (think: `What did you do with my
repo?!?!). Remember: "element of least surprise" should (mostly) be the number
one criteria.
