I have a 193-line TCL script that uses both CVSTrac and CVS data to do the conversion. The script is not general-purpose, but is sufficient for SQLite. Only version information is converted at this time. Wiki and ticket conversion is TBD. The script execs cvs to extract each check-in then execs fossil to check it into the fossil repository under construction. The fossil check-in is relatively fast. It is the 6655 separate cvs check-outs that take time. Several hours are needed to perform the transfer. D.
