Thinking about it (it has been many months since I've looked at this), I remember trying to use tailor to convert the cvs repository into svn. I couldn't use the cvs2svn script, as you need filesystem access to the cvs repository for that script to work. Plus, I don't thing that the cvs2svn script is able to keep the svn repository in sync with the cvs repository, but is rather a "one-time" tool. I may be wrong about that, it's been many years since I've used it.
On the other hand tailor will mirror the whole repository in one format to another repository in possibly another format. It's a very interesting tool, but it's also not the easiest to configure correctly. Regardless, now that unattended is using subversion, I don't have to worry about this anymore. The reason I'm writing the email is because, due to using a local subversion repository, I have noticed that I had to modify the tools/prepare script to ignore files in the .svn/ directories. My modification may not be complete or correct, but it seems to have been working ok for me. Here is the link for tailor, in case anybody is interested in learning about it. I think that it's an interesting tool. http://progetti.arstecnica.it/tailor -- Thanks: Joseph Rawson
