Yes, I think that is the default. You shouldn't have any surprises from
the conversion itself, although it might be worth a test run into a
disposable repo to get started. If you add the converted history to an
existing repo or combine projects you will break some of subversion's
date-range operations since they are no longer sequential in respect to
revision numbers. Also, be aware that tags in subversion are
conceptually different things (for example you can't float them as in
cvs) and you may need to change some of your processes to match.
