When we switched to Subversion, the CVS repository was frozen as of
that particular date (i.e. anyone who tries to do a commit to that
repository will get a failure).  That being said, there are thousands
of links into that repository (typically through the viewcvs portal)
that would suddenly break if the old repository was physically removed
-- that doesn't seem like a user friendly thing to do, so we didn't.

For general SVN background, start at <http://svnbook.red-bean.com/>
and read the walk-through chapters of the book -- it's a pretty good
introduction.  For those familiar with CVS, there's even a specialized
chapter on mapping the "CVS way" to the "SVN way" which I found very
helpful.
