I've finally migrated our soft/initscripts module from CVS to SVN, using cvs2svn.

It wasn't really easy, since we need to keep a Redhat branch, and diff our branch with this one. But since we apply this diff to the original Redhat tarball on our package, things get complicated.

The cvs2svn script automatically converted $Id: CVS keywords to svn:keywords properties, but it isn't suitable for imported Redhat files. So, I manually removed these svn:keywords properties for the concernet PO files.

Another sensitive issue was the CRLF characters that are used in some PO files in the Redhat package. Deleting the svn:eol-style property and committing again the original PO file solved the issue.
