thanks Alex.

I'm for the post-commit hook, as this is a svn feature and doen't bulk 
subscribed mailboxes with "no changes" mails and only issues a mail if a 
corresponding commit has been applied.

Can we setup to pipe it via the existing mailman subscribers to the 
'devel-reports' mailing list? So +1 for post-commit hook.

yep, we want a clean ChangeLog entry and a corresponding log message to be 
existing. (Andreas will hate it ;) ++1.

Now, the ChangeLog is a construct since decades for the CVS repos. If we use (2) 
and we can "reproduce" the same ChangeLog "on request", then I'm +0 for it.

HTTPS _AND_ SSL client certificates. So we ensure that write commit to the SVN 
repos is always identified by a corresponding user. This means we will have to 
establish a Kannel CA too, which issues the certs.

Is SSL cert client-side authentication possible with svn client directly and any 
common IDE, i.e. Eclipse?

IMO, as soon as we have tagged the CVS HEAD branch for version 1.4.2 we should 
set the CVS repo to read-only and switch SVN to write, keeping the CVS in 
operation (in read-only) for a couple of weeks to allow users relying on the 
repo to migrate.
