Just in the case someone is interested, to achieve a clean
archive (i.e. without all the .svn entries which takes space), to be used
for instance for building a source tarball to distribute, this command can be used:

svn --force export https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-blender/trunk/blender blender-2.44

Also to preserve the original commit timestamp as cvs was doing by default, add the following
line to your $HOME/.subversion/config file:

use-commit-times = yes

BTW, would be possible from time to time (e.g. monthly)
to upgrade the ChangeLog file? Actually is still of 2003. There is the svn2cl utility (here:
http://ch.tudelft.nl/~arthur/svn2cl/).

Bye
Giuseppe.
