Barry prepared a test conversion of CactusBase, including 'trunk/master'
and ET_2014_05 so far. A few minor issues were noted:
- empty one-line logs: will be fixed
- empty authors: ok (from cvs2svn)
- thorn-prefixes to be changed from "[thorn] " to "thorn: "
- all branches will be included in next test
- assumption: branch creation among thorns at "same time"
-> probably ok, and if not conversion scripts will complain

I have now finished the conversion for two of the arrangements, CactusBase and CactusNumerical. The results can be seen at:

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.
