Comment (by anarcat):

 what's the next step with SVN? we discussed this briefly in Stockholm, and
 it's unclear to me what the consensus was. it seems it's still in use by
 some people, or at least *some* parts of it are still in use, according to
 timestamps:

 {{{
 root at gayi:/srv/svn.torproject.org# ls -alu repositories/*/db/current
 -rw-rw-r-- 1 www-data www-data  5 aoû 16 13:02
 repositories/corp/db/current
 -rw-rw-r-- 1 www-data www-data  5 aoû  9 05:09
 repositories/internal/db/current
 -rw-rw-r-- 1 www-data www-data 14 aoû 16 16:29 repositories/tor/db/current
 -rw-rw-r-- 1 www-data www-data  5 aoû 15 17:51
 repositories/vidalia/db/current
 }}}

 that is, all of the repositories have been access in the last two weeks,
 and the `tor` one was accessed in the last ''two days''. that said, the
 latest *commit* on some of those is much older:

 {{{
 root at gayi:/srv/svn.torproject.org# ls -al repositories/*/db/current
 -rw-rw-r-- 1 www-data www-data  5 aoû 16 13:02
 repositories/corp/db/current
 -rw-rw-r-- 1 www-data www-data  5 aoû  4 03:58
 repositories/internal/db/current
 -rw-rw-r-- 1 www-data www-data 14 mai  8  2015 repositories/tor/db/current
 -rw-rw-r-- 1 www-data www-data  5 mar 20  2011
 repositories/vidalia/db/current
 }}}

 ie. the `corp` and `internal` ones have been written two in the last two
 weeks, but the `tor` and `vidalia` ones have been idle for years (4 and 8
 years, respectively).

 what we could do is archive (move aside) the last two (tor and vidalia)
 and see what breaks. then we need to figure out what to do with the `corp`
 and `internal` repos. in #17201, it seems the plan is to move to git, so I
 guess that would be the next step?

 who uses that stuff anyways?
