One thing I came across when I converted my CVS repository to SVN
using cvs2svn, was that the occasional .v file in the CVS repository
contained Windows EOL characters in it, which threw the script off.
Once I removed them from the .v file, everything worked for me.

Unfortunately, it was a trial and error approach. So it took me a few
attempts before I could get a clean run. But it was easy to fix, once
it was found.

Hope this helps,
Ed
