Thank you. It helps a lot.
What is 'project=XXX'? Is that in a file?
This is a shell statement; it assigns the name of a project (XXX in
my example) to the shell variable project. Wherever $project later
is mentioned, that value is used.
I created the dir called svnrepos for subversion. The cvsroot dir contains
all of the CVS data & projects. Does the above command just do one project
at a time? If so, is there a way to it all at once?
Yes, this does the conversion once at a time. If one uses just
$CVSROOT instead of $CVSROOT/$project, the whole CVS repository is
converted at once. One needs to leave off the --parent-dir option at
the svnadmin load command then, too.
But in my opinion this is only sensible if the projects are very
tightly related. Otherwise, the resulting SVN directory structure
with trunk, tags, and branches is not practical.
