not trivial if you have paths in css, or - worse - built dynamically by
javascript. You can get a lot of the way there though and just log areas
that might need manual attention.

There's a tortoise client: http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/
I've only installed and played with it.. but my experience with
tortoiseCVS (for the last year or 2) is that its an enormous improvement
over winCVS.

I'll watch this thread for any other gotchas people have come across.
