switch to subversion repository

Hi All, It looks like SourceForge has (finally) adopted

I'm +20 on this. I've complained about sourceforge CVS for a long
time, mainly because of the lag which in the past could be days, but
also because of the lack of proper directory management. Every time
we wanted to reorganize the directories we would lose history.

If you (or anyone else) want to have a go at migration, please do. It
should be pretty easy because we have a pretty simple CVS setup, no
branches etc.

Great! I'm unable to do it myself (I lack admin rights), but hopefully
someone else can follow the directions on that page. Or else someone can
give me commit rights (astraw@...325...) and I'll do it, probably tomorrow
afternoon. Obviously, we should announce in advance when the changeover
will happen.

I propose the following structure, which we could implement as the first
commits of the subversion repository once the CVS data is installed.

matplotlib/ (top level)
    branches/ (empty for now)
    trunk/
        setup.py
        lib/
        (and so on)

This will make life easier down the track when we want to make branches
and will allow checkouts of just the trunk with:
svn co matplotlib download | SourceForge.net matplotlib

I just downloaded inkscape from SF via svn, and all apparently went
well. So, I'm optimistic on SF's subversion implementation.

What about tags?
      tags/
        0.87
        0.87.1
        0.88
        ...

Yes, tags, too.

I've gone ahead and created a test subversion repository on my local
machine. Everything looks OK. It looks like the new checkout string to
get matplotlib (and not toolkits, htdocs, and users_guide) would be
something like "svn co path.to - a really cool domain parked on Park.io trunk/matplotlib matplotlib".

You probably don't want to check out the tags directory -- 3.4 are
generated on your disk then!

Here's the top-level layout created directly by cvs2svn. Sorry I didn't
have time to format this nicely.
