I'd like to move this to contrib so it's all in one place. Then I should be able to put it in a separate repo and drop it from Git.

If someone has a spare moment to help, I'd be happy to review patches that move vcs-svn/* and git-remote-testsvn to contrib/svn-fe (including the tests, contrib/subtree-style; in a separate repo the tests would then work fine using sharness).

Thanks, Jonathan
