That's a one time operation unless you nuke your cloned repository. I'm 
more worried about the disk space usage because my disks are always full 
:)

I also don't think moving to svn is really worth the effort. The only 
benefits would be preserving history with 'svn cp/mv' (which would be 
nice to have but not needed very often), and 'svn mkdir' not changing 
the repository. Or have I overlooked some really useful svn feature?
