Hi,
The location for the python version of simfactory has changed. It used to live as branch PYSIM_2010 within the repository
https://svn.cct.lsu.edu/repos/numrel/simfactory/
It now has its own repository
https://svn.cct.lsu.edu/repos/numrel/simfactory2/
History is preserved in the sense that this is a copy of the simfactory repository, which the perl version removed and the python branch made the trunk. You cannot "switch --relocate" to this repository. Permissions should be set like for the old repository. Please let me know if you have problems.
Only if you are interested in technical details: I tried to use svndumpfilter to get a 'nicer' history, avoiding the repo copy and 'svn mv' of the branches/trunk, by rewriting the paths within the dump. However, because of a combination of 'svn mv/cp' in the past and limitations of every svndumpfilter script available (I found five), this isn't possible without major pain and a lot of work, if at all.
