Executive summary:
  * We are currently migrating from CVS to SVN.  Until further notice,
commit to CVS as usual.

Long story:
I received no feedback for the moment, so I assume that there is no
problem.  I just changed po4a's SCM on Alioth in order to create an
SVN repository, and am currently importing all CVS history (will be
finished in few minutes/hours).  Do not commit yet into SVN, your
commits will get lost!

When it is considered as ready (tomorrow or on Wednesday), I will
disable CVS write access, redo the conversion (I want to make another
CVS commit to fix VCS fields in debian/control so that CVS users have
a clue about this migration) and regenerate SVN repository.
Please tell me if you find any problem with this SVN repository:
  svn://svn.debian.org/svn/po4a/trunk
Thanks for your help.
