SWF / MVC write-up

[David Langenberg]

Sorry to butt in, but if you're going to undergo a huge repo reorg why not
also take the opportunity to move to Git at the same time.  Seems that was
desired by some (move to Git) in the past and the amount of work require to
pop a massive svn repo into several smaller git repos while preserving
history is really not all that much.  I only mention this because we're
doing the same thing here in the IAM group at Chicago -- busting one
massive repo (ours in this case stretches back to 1999 and has gone through
RCS -> CVS -> SVN -> Hg and now into smaller project-based git repos).
