Migrating to Subversion

Hi Gauche developers,

I've been procrastinating this, but SourceForge.net's CVS
is getting so slow enough to convince me to finally
start migrating Gauche repository to Subversion.

Since Gauche repository have several packages and we have
several committers, I gradually move one package at a time
whenever I find time to do so.   I just migrated Gauche-gl
for the starter.  I'm going to move small packages first,
then Gauche itself.

When you browse the source at the sourceforge.net webpage,
check out the subversion repository first:
http://gauche.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/gauche/
Once a package is migrated, the CVS repository will no longer
be updated.  I'll try to remove files from CVS repository
to avoid confusions, but there may be some delay.

Here's a short summary of how to access the new repository,
for your convenience:

THOSE WHO WANT TO GET CUTTING EDGE SOURCE
-----------------------------------------

This command works in general:

$ svn co https://gauche.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/gauche/Gauche-gl/trunk Gauche-gl

This extracts the 'trunk', the main development line,
into Gauche-gl subdirectory on your machine.

You may want to avoid using url like
https://gauche.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/gauche/Gauche-gl/
which will extract source tree of _every_ tagged releases
and branches, which can be huge.

To retrieve a specific tagged releases, you can use url like this:
https://gauche.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/gauche/Gauche-gl/tags/release0_4

FOR COMMITTERS
--------------

To save troubles, give --username option to specify your sf.net username
when you check out.  Otherwise svn will ask your username and password
every time you try to write to the repository, which is annoying.

$ svn co https://gauche.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/gauche/Gauche-gl/trunk Gauche-gl --username <YOUR-SF.NET-USERNAME>

--shiro
