I'm pleased to announce that the migrations are now complete and have been tested. Here are the relevant links: Online source code browser: http://code.google.com/p/codesnip/source/browse/ Committed changes: http://code.google.com/p/codesnip/source/list Check-out URL for Subversion clients: http://codesnip.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ Note: Checkouts are read-only. To commit you need to be a project member. Contact me if you want to join the project. Some of the old Subversion URLs may keep working for a while, but the the old repository will not be updated. CodeSnip 's download files (source and executable) remain on SourceForge at: https://sourceforge.net/projects/codesnip/files/ . The bug report and feature request trackers remain on SourceForge but have n...
