thanx; works out of the box for me (using the "svnserve_enable" path).

That said : I glanced at a diff of a stable/8 checkout both from
/home/ncvs repo and new /home/freebsd-svn one, and saw a (maybe well-known ..)
'feature' :

  diff ./src/contrib/amd/include/am_defs.h /raid1/bsd/8/src/contrib/amd/include/am_defs.h

 42c42
<  * $FreeBSD: stable/8/contrib/amd/include/am_defs.h 174299 2007-12-05 16:03:52Z obrien $

I wondered why the date (and commiter ...) in the expansion were
different (from the svn log ): 

  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
  r196045 | kensmith | 2009-08-03 10:13:06 +0200 (Mon, 03 Aug 2009) | 4

  Copy head to stable/8 as part of 8.0 Release cycle.

  Approved by:    re (Implicit)

  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
  r174299 | obrien | 2007-12-05 17:03:52 +0100 (Wed, 05 Dec 2007) | 3
  lines

So the 'Copy head' chain does not update the $FreeBSD tag, whereas the
consequent svn to cvs chain does.

FYI, Arno
