I have no objection to moving Subversion.

I would suggest that the right way to proceed would be ala the 
conversion to Bugzilla; figure out how to do the conversion, and do it, 
producing a version of the repository in subversion format.  Let people 
play with that a bit, including doing dummy check-ins to validate post 
check-in scripts, updating (new versions of) our web pages, etc., and 
then convert to it after the kinks are worked out.

I would not recommend trying to get the rest of the "src" repository on 
board at this time.  It would be nice to have a plan for doing that, at 
some point, but that's a level of coordination that I would not 
recommend imposing on ourselves.

Come now, if we were really planning to harm you, would we be waiting here,
 beside the path, in the very darkest part of the forest?
