The following mailing list thread (from Sunday of this week) seems to
suggest that subversion will not be anything in the near future:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/savannah-hackers/2005-10/msg00113.html

I have seen other GNU projects take the route of simply hosting their
code elsewhere.  We could continue with the use of savannah, move the
source code development to gna, and should savannah later support it,
migrate back over.  Once we are using subversion, the act of migrating
from one system to another should not be an issue.

    svnadmin dump ourrepos > dumpfile
    svnadmin load ourrepos < dumpfile

Should be easy enough that the gna and savannah folks could do that for
us.  We already have a project setup at gna.org, I'm not sure I'd see
any issues with hosting code on gna.org and keeping the mailing lists,
bugs on savannah.gnu.org.

Any thoughts?
