Actually, I was looking for best practices and lessons learned for converting a CVS repository to a Subversion repository if there was an information that could be shared. Stuff like:
1. Reconnecting history of files that were deleted and added in the "same" commit. 2. Handling *.,v files that have been copied from the server side (instead of deleting and adding them as in #1). I've used Subversion at work recently. It does take some getting used to (some concepts like branching are implemented much differently and yet much more simply), but overall I like it a lot better than CVS. It really does fix a lot of the warts that CVS has.
