The current version seems to actually work with nontrivial repositories (I'm importing gnupg at the moment, which recently switched from CVS to SVN).

Also worth noting is that cvs->svn->git is somewhat more faithful WRT importing CVS archives with "incomplete" or "funky" tags -- it exports their state correctly to SVN, and my importer should be able to get them out again. On the minus side, the two cannot generate the same changesets because cvs2svn rounds timestamps to the next full minute.

Speed: Comparable to the CVS importer when crossing the network: both need
one roundtrip per file. I haven't done any tests with local repositories.
