I have now finished the conversion for two of the arrangements, CactusBase
and CactusNumerical. The results can be seen at:
https://bitbucket.org/barrywardell/cactusbase
https://bitbucket.org/barrywardell/cactusnumerical

One minor issue which appeared during the conversion is that there were a
few branches and tags which appear to be a result of a less-than-perfect
CVS->SVN conversion. This does not affect any of what I could consider the
"important" branches and tags, i.e. for ET and Cactus releases. Except in a
couple of cases where these branches are clearly useful, I have omitted
them from the merged repository.

The conversion is mostly scripted, although there are necessarily a couple
manual cleanup steps at the end. This manual cleanup is a somewhat
time-consuming process, so if the new repository layouts look good to
everyone it would be nice to transition to them soon-ish, before too much
development happens in the thorn svn repositories.
