-1 on making the --in-memory version the default. Generally speaking,
folks are more likely to run out of RAM before running out of disk.
It would be Badness for someone who had a big repository to run their
conversion for hours and then have it fail because they hit the
generally much smaller of the two available boundaries. Remember,
most OSes (with which I'm familiar, at least) have some notion of a
ramdisk -- folks can use that today without changes to cvs2svn itself.
