Hi!

Just did a test run on kdenonbeta:

cvs2svn Statistics:
------------------
Total CVS Files:             12362
Total CVS Revisions:         67566

Last Revision Date:     Sat Oct  9 12:12:17 2004

Timings:
pass 8:  5963 seconds
total:   6177 seconds

We would need to do an additional pass before the 
cleans up the history of the scripty commits at least 
a bit before we convert. As we can't afford to have
two copies, people developing on cvs the three days
you estimate wouldn't be able to apply their diffs.

We would need to disable non-anonymous cvs at some
point, everyone keeps patches in his then announymous
cvs access. Then when svn comes online, you would be
able to generate a cvs diff and apply it in your svn checkout.
Then you svn commit and cvs is history.

But before all that we need to migrate our solutions like
commit mails generation, accounts, etc. And that we need
to keep in parallel for a while.
