Right. You definitely want to write a little shell script that creates an new
empty svn repos, runs cvs2svn, does the import and checks out the working copy
so you can review it. If you're not happy, modify the shell script, run it
again, rinse until happy.
Don't import your first cvs2svn conversion into your production repository.
