Why is this only recommended for a fresh install? Is it "safe" to toggle the switch, create the RCS dir in each existing data dir on the server, move the existing ,v files into the RCS dir using the command line and go from there?

Admittedly, this might be tedious (although easily scripted). Is it "safe"?

Answer

I have not tested this, but it should be OK to disable TWiki updates, move all ,v files below data and pub to RCS subdirs, configure TWiki.cfg accordingly, and re-enable updates. Be safe, backup your data.
