I converted about 80MB of an MKS/SI archive. MKS/SI 7.5 is basically RCS
with some very simple multiuser support (stores archive on a network
share).
We didn't use branches just because using them was a pain. For converting
the archives i used cvs2svn of some pre-1.0 release. The only thing i
didn't convert was binary files, but they were not important for us.
The only incompatibility was 3 additional lines i had to remove from each
archive file before running cvs2svn.
After importing the remaining projects we have now a repos of about 350MB.
Everyone here loves svn, it's much faster than MKS/SI, has real network
support so we can update our working copies at home via ssh tunnel and
we're now able to use branches and tags :)
Thank you to everyone working on subversion or related parts, subversion
is really great!
