.cvsignore to svn migration?

 Hi (Robin),

 Should we migrate .cvsignore files contents to svn properties and remove
them? If we want to do it automatically, here is the 1 (well, 3) liner to
do it

find -name .cvsignore | while read file; do
    svn propset svn:ignore "`cat "$file"`" "`echo "$file" | sed 's,/[^/]*$,,'`"
done

(shamelessly stolen from http://sam.zoy.org/writings/programming/svn2cvs.html)

 But then I'm not sure if we really want to do this automatically as there
is probably a lot of old and out of date stuff in our .cvsignore files.
As it really doesn't make sense to continue storing them in svn, we could
try just removing them -- and then setting the svn:ignore property manually
where needed.

 What do you think?
VZ
