I'm surprised it's that slow! Do you know appx how many file changes
per revision there are?
One solution: you can keep track of all commits that came in since you
started the conversion (just put some trivial script into
CVSROOT/loginfo to record the path and the new revision number). Then
after the conversion is done, you can go get all those commits and
replay them into the Subversion repository manually, or just mail the
relevant developers and point out to them that the change may not have
been ported over...

Not as far as I know.

cvs2svn by default uses the
PROJ_ROOT/
trunk/
tags/
branches/
plan that we recommend in the book. Currently, it just uses the
top-level directories in the CVS repository as the project roots, but
it may stop doing that, thanks to a recent thread about how a --prefix
argument would be more useful.

I don't know if there is a tool -- if there is, we certainly don't
ship it with Subversion. Maybe they can be repaired by hand?

There's no need for an issue -- branch conversion is all I'm working
on right now :-).

Soon, soon.

Thanks for the reports; I hope you'll keep trying cvs2svn.
