I only saw one reference on the subversion page: to
http://vss2svn.tigris.org/. I used that successfully to convert about
3,000 revisions. There were two problems:

* Despite a warning in the documentation, I forgot to "unghost" some
  folders, and that caused it to fail. Once I did that, it worked.

* A few of the log messages are full of garbage, but the garbage is (I
  think) appended to the legitimate content, so it's merely an annoyance.
