Ah, I should have left a comment in the script about that.  I
commented it out while I was testing it, so I wouldn't make the cvs
repo readonly at that time.  Like the sed_repo and sed_module vars
further down in the script this need to be changed once I run it for
real.

We should move everything to git, I guess I just stopped setting up
migrations when I had all the code repositories done.  I'll add the
remaining cvs modules before doing the conversion.

Yeah, that's true.  I just pinged ajax, and he's around tomorrow and
can help copying the repositories over.
