Just figured I'd mention two potential gotcha's as well:

Is this kosher even if zope is running? I'd expect not (though I could  
be wrong). I think the following would be the paranoid way:

cd Silva-buildout-curr # or wherever your current working buildout is
mkdir bak
bin/repozo -B -f var/filestorage/Data.fs -r bak
bin/repozo -R -o ~/Silva-buildout-new/var/filestorage/Data.fs -r bak #  
or wherever your new buildout is

If I'm crazy here, please let me know! (and if so, why does repozo  
exist at all?). Certainly, the above works OK (and results in the  
equivalent of a cp if there's no changes going on concurrently).

FWIW, I've had collisions (and actual problems) with packages from  
Plone and Silva both having their own ideas about e.g., i18n, even  
though I wasn't using i18n!

Cheers,
