Comment (by arma):

 On the plus side, I think we're much closer to being able to do this
 ticket now, since the main person who puts things into corpsvn these days
 is Sue, and I suspect she just commits things to have them somewhere for
 posterity, i.e. she isn't using any of the actual revision control
 features.

 So if we froze the corpsvn repo and gave her new instructions on where to
 send new things (probably Nextcloud), I bet we'd have a good start here.

 She would still need to reference a checkout of corpsvn e.g. for giving
 documents to the auditors, but she probably has one on her laptop, so
 maybe "being available to help her if that checkout breaks" is a win over
 "need to keep corpsvn going as a service".

 There might be other folks who still use their copy of corpsvn in a read-
 only kind of way. Maybe that's Erin. Or more? We need to ask the
 operations team.

 Then we would have a next task which is "triage and sort the current
 corpsvn files, probably by category, and do something smart with them" but
 in theory that step can be orthogonal to shutting down the corpsvn
 service.
