I'm not terribly worried about the images being permanently lost. What
I'm more interested in is if it's possible to "fix" the history so
that it's easier to browse in the future. And, if so, is it easier to
fix it while we're using SVN, or once we move to Git?


 Unless someone has a backup of the CVS repo, I think the CVS commits/rename 
information is now lost (I looked, and don't have a CVS backup).
