I think we should freeze the svn repo as soon as possible. Pierre is still
making commits there and unless there is an easy way to update the git repo
from svn those sort of commits might be a small hassle.

So, I suggest a short post to the list announcing a svn freeze. How does
trac integrate with the new repo? Will the mailing lists still work?
