Hello

Since the migration to git, the subversion repositories have not been synced.
At the moment they're 500+ revisions behind -- and arguably more
considering that
now multiple changesets can be included in a single 'git push'.

 * http://svn.haiku-os.org/haiku/
 * http://svn.berlios.de/viewcvs/haiku/

While poking around on the internet, I realized numerous websites still instruct users to checkout from the subversion repository. This seems like a point of
failure/confusion for newcomers.

Granted at least some of the data on svn.haiku-os.org is still valuable.
For instance the webpositive repository is active and haiku's
branches/, tags/, and vendor/ contain information that may not be
mirrored elsewhere.

Should we proceed to effectively disable accidental checkouts?
Should we edit/remove the project page at BerliOS?

There is some extra branches in svn that never made it to git that could still be useful.
(things like the original gallium3d port)

maybe move svn.haiku-os.org to oldsvn.haiku-os.org? that would make the old references
no longer work and make people do some research.
