I think some people are still using SVN in 2025.

In the case of UNNA, it automatically commits any newly uploaded files, and
any moved/published by admins, to the SVN server, so it does need to be
left up and running. It is also supposed to be used for keeping mirrors
up-to-date, but that was never quite finalized. :(

I had tried to migrate to git, but there are some very large files that
would require the use of git-lfs. Additionally, there's some weird/broken
commit history that I need to try to rewrite in order for it to be imported
into separate repos instead of the current monorepo containing www.unna.org,
mirrors.unna.org, tools.unna.org, etc. As you can imagine, the www.unna.org
& mirrors.unna.org are quite large, though maybe not by a whole
organization's standards.
