All history and tags will be preserved in the conversion. Performing diffs between tags is standard practice. I've done this many times before and, in fact, I once noted here how I was performing the diffs on one occasion: http://www.jroller.com/page/CastorLive?anchor=svn_diffing > I don't want to hold up a transition, but I'd like the transition to > be based on good development reasons rather than bandwagon. I've proposed creating a branch for all of this work in order to protect the trunk from any of the major changes. Working with branches in SVN is *tremendously* easier than in CVS. This is what is driving the conversion from CVS -> SVN. If that's not a development reason, then I don't know what is.
