This repository split has finally happened today.

By using a combination of the tools svndumpfilter and svndumpfilter2 
(http://svn.tartarus.org/sgt/svn-tools/svndumpfilter2), I could preserve 
the complete related SVN history in both repositories. The latter tool 
even prevented the usual empty revisions that are added during such 
repository splits (just look at our "web" repo which still has them).

Our CIA.vc reporting scripts have also been updated to the latest 
version. They now add links to the full ViewVC revision information 
(e.g. http://svn.reactos.org/svn/project-tools/?view=rev&revision=1232) 
for all following commits.

Cheers,

Colin
