Migrating CVS sandbox

[Michael Caplan <mi...@htc.ca>]

Hi,

I'm wondering if anyone has any opinions on how I can best go about 
migrating a cvs sandbox to a svn sandbox without removing the originally 
created cvs sandbox?  The issue I have with the cvs sandbox is that 
there are loads of non cvs files found throughout the sandbox that I 
need to maintain.  I tried to do a svn checkout on top of the cvs 
sandbox, but svn blocks that.  Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Michael

Off the top of my head...  You have a CVS working copy that you tried to
copy over a SVN working copy.  So it sounds like you want to merge them
together.  
The order of the merge I'm not sure of, but I am going to assume you
want to put CVS files into a SVN working copy.  Make adjustments as
needed.

Import the CVS sandbox, minus the CVS dirs and other accounting
information into a branch directory.

Merge the svn working copy with the newly imported CVS branch.  
Fix conflicts and enjoy.

Cheers,
Chris
