The "cvs2svn-1.0" milestone has always referred to a separate 1.0 of
cvs2svn's, by the way, not to SVN 1.0.

There is no way the necessary changes to cvs2svn could get into SVN
1.0 via the current approval process.

Something like that, yes.

Mike Pilato have some time allocated to work on cvs2svn in the next
few weeks (while SVN 1.0 is stabilizing & being tested). Let's see
how that goes, then decide what to do.

I'm thinking that maybe we should break it out into a separate
project, so its schedule doesn't have to get confused with SVN's
schedule. Not sure yet, though. Thoughts welcome!
