[LLVMdev] Subversion Conversion (IMPORTANT)

[Reid Spencer]

All,

One note about SVN clients. Its come to our attention that *some* 1.3
builds (and probably earlier) of the svn client do not have SSL support
built into them. This means the client won't be able to use the
https://... URL. You will still be able to check out (anonymously, with
read-only access) using the http://... URL. So, if you have commit
access, please check your SVN client to see if you can checkout using
https://... If you can't you'll need to rebuild your client with the ssl
option turned on or get a 1.4 client where SSL is enabled by default.
For those of you without commit access, this won't make any
difference .. just use the http://... URL.

Some feedback for Chris ...

You're welcome. Its long over due.

I've added that to the "TO DO" list on the SVNMigration.html page.
