I'm being moved from cvs to svn.

Looking at the web, it's hard to tell whether it's possible to use svn 
under emacs.  I found lots of bug reports.  Is it possible?

If so, neither the .el files nor svn include any install instructions. 
Can someone point me to a web site, HOWTO, etc., that might tell me how 
to get it going.

Meta-comment to elisp developers:  After you've spent months developing 
your great package, take a few extra hours and put some install and 
usage comments at the top.  You do want us to use your creation, don't you?

There are vc-svn (included in Emacs) and psvn¹

Note that vc-svn doesn't come with the released version of Emacs, but
only with what's in CVS.  (Rumor has it that that will be released
Real Soon Now™ as Emacs 22).

Note also that psvn.el rocks, if I may be so bold :-)

Can you recommend a "move from cvs to svn" walkthrough ?

http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.2/svn.forcvs.html , part of
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/ , seemed alright.  However, I'm not very
familiar with either.

Yes. There are some differences between the way cvs and svn handle some 
things. I used to use a precompiled version of emacs 21.3 under Win32 
and had some problems with psvn.el (the pcl-cvs for svn) not working at 
all. I finally figured out to check-in files with C-x C-v and do basic 
stuffs only, but once I had to do more complex things, I switched out of 
emacs, using svn from a shell or TortoiseSVN (a nice GUI).

I managed recently to compile emacs 21.4.1 under Win32, and now 
everything goes well (svn-status is nice). psvn.el is supposed to work 
with 21.3 anyway, but I suppose there is a problem with precompiled 
emacs 21.3 found on the net.

Really straightforward. Make sure you find psvn.el on the net (it is not 
yet provided with emacs). The one I use is tagged:

;; $Id: psvn.el 18470 2006-02-15 20:51:59Z xsteve $

Then put in your .emacs:

(require 'psvn)
(add-to-list 'vc-handled-backends 'SVN)

Type 'C-x svn-status', enter a svn controlled directory.
After that, a "dired-like" buffer is created (in major svn-status-mode). 
There are lots of commands in this mode. Do 'C-h m' for documentation. 
Enjoy.
