We need to adjust the source repository we're using for remora, so that the app dir can live under an imported Cake. Options: - get an admin to mv or rm the existing webtools/remora dir, so that we can re-import things appropriately into CVS - move to the subversion repo, once that's sufficiently deployed (soon, I have reason to believe) I strongly prefer option #2, because of the sensitivity of Cake to file and directory names (refactoring code sometimes requires renaming files), and because I believe there are cases in which the presence of an empty directory is significant. CVS handles both of those issues pretty much completely gracelessly.

No, Subversion handles them fine as far as I can tell, it's CVS that handles them gracelessly, if at all. If you think svn will cause problems here, let's discuss that offline rather than clogging this bug.

I would prefer whichever option is quicker, because the more we work on remora and the more files that get created, the harder it's going to be to compile everything into one directory for import into wherever.

Yes, time is of the essence indeed. We could continue checking our stuff into CVS as it is in the meantime, as I don't think it makes things materially worse regardless of the option we choose, and we're not yet (though soon!) concerned about staging and deployment rollouts.

Word on the street is that we get SVN this week. I am a believer.
