I've imported a CVS repo into SVN and the history was preserved. Worked
like a charm.

My experience is that it's quite a bit faster than CVS (especially
over a WAN) but to be honest the biggest advantages I've seen are with
file moves, renames, and branching. SVN seems to handle them all
relatively painlessly which is a significant improvement over CVS.
Also the SVN support in IntelliJ seems to be better than the CVS
support.
Of course, YMMV. XWork isn't particularly large so I don't know what
the overall impact would be.
It also may be wasted work if there's an idea that the whole
repository may be moving again (that is, to Apache) in 6 months.
That said, I recall people generally saying that the SVN
import-from-CVS tools work pretty well, and they also are able to
preserve CVS history, addressing Rainer's question. I haven't
actually done such an import myself.
If Jason has a lot of uncommitted changes, it would probably make
sense to let him commit them before migrating, if the migration is to
go ahead.
