Subject: bksvn?

Hi all,

Whatever happened to bksvn? I'm now using Subversion on a daily basis and
remembered about this neat hack, but...

% svn ls svn://kernel.bkbits.net/linux-2.5
svn: Can't connect to host 'kernel.bkbits.net': Connection refused

Has it gone elsewhere, or were other problems exposed?

Just rsync the CVS repository from:

rsync://rsync.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/bkcvs/

The direct access to the repository was removed due to disuse and
security problems. The rsync is a lot nicer anyway.
