[Patch] cvs2svn.py

Hi all,

when playing with cvs2svn.py I had some problems with the handling of
CVS log messages. Only the last message of a changeset was incorporated
in the svn commit. The enclosed patch fixes this. Now each log message
from CVS is logged in Subversion together with the affected files (there
might be the same message for some files and a different message for
some other files). Additionally, the files get markers to be able to
see whether it was a deletion, addition or modification.

For example:

M create.sql (1.2)
M foo.c (1.4)
A bar.c (1.1)
M lib/tools.c (1.3)
  funny logmessage
D context.sql (1.2)
D drop.sql (1.2)
  No longer needed
A sink.sql (1.1)
  Here is all the hot stuff

This is probably a horrible hack for any decent python programmer (it is my
first python code), and there might be better ways to implement this, but
it does at least work. It would be nice, when some variation of this patch
could get committed. I think it is important not to lose the version history when
switching from CVS to Subversion.

Comments?
