Public references to SVN

[Cheetham, Anastasia]

This morning, we had a brief discussion about the fact that we have several public references our source code in SVN. These references will need to be updated to reference Git. We don't yet have a clear plan for this, but surveying the terrain seems like a good start.

First off, our public website: The "Download Infusion" page refers to SVN
  http://fluidproject.org/products/infusion/download-infusion/
  references tag in SVN: includes live link and text of the svn command

As well, the wiki is rife with references. A search for "SVN" turned up 33 pages of search results. A scan of the first 10 of these pages turned up the following pages, which mention SVN and/or link to the repository:

http://wiki.fluidproject.org/display/fluid/Source+Code
http://wiki.fluidproject.org/display/fluid/Contributing+Code
http://wiki.fluidproject.org/display/fluid/Process+for+Granting+Commit+Access
http://wiki.fluidproject.org/display/fluid/Getting+Started+in+Fluid+Development

http://wiki.fluidproject.org/display/fluid/Lightbox+Technical+Overview
http://wiki.fluidproject.org/display/fluid/Versioning+the+Fluid+Framework
http://wiki.fluidproject.org/display/fluid/McCord+Document+Conversion

plus
each of the individual release pages (including "current"), e.g.
http://wiki.fluidproject.org/display/fluid/Fluid+Infusion+1.2

I'm not at all convinced that we're going to be able to come up with any form of simple or automated process for updating all these references: For one, the URL references are not all to the same URL (some to trunk, some to a tag, some to an incubator project...). For another, several of them include narrative references and snippets of SVN command-line instructions.

I think we might just have to have an all-hands-on-deck blitz where everyone picks a section of the wiki and fixes stuff.

Does anyone have any alternative suggestions?
