Subversion and GCC

GCC would be moving to Subversion around this weekend. In general, I feel this is a good move and will probably help our prolific developers a lot. I do have concerns about its alarming usage of disc space relative to CVS though. As it is, my home PC is under a bit of a strain trying to squeeze in GCC mainline and gcjx-branch copies, not to mention snapshots of these that I actually use as working copies, on the hard disc partitions that I have provided to Linux. After the move to Subversion, I will have to make some adjustments to the disc partitions to fit all this stuff in.

However, this will probably have to wait as I would be on vacation in Ooty most of next week.
