PumaCode is still the "official" site; it will be migrated to Google Code
hopefully shortly but that effort got stalled for a bit. I'll update Google
Code with a note to that effect.

There's no such thing as "normal" in VSS :) Every archive is screwed up in
its own unique way depending on usage patterns, length of use, moon phases
etc. I would highly recommend that, before you run "analyze", you make a
backup of the existing repo first. We've seen cases where running analyze
makes it even more difficult to migrate rather than less.

In general my advice would be to convert the existing repo as-is, and then
"fix" it using available Subversion tools (svndumpfilter etc.), rather than
try to fix it first and then convert.
