CVS being converted to SVN

[Casper Hornstrup]

The conversion process has begun. I expect it to take about 30 hours to complete.

I have tagged CVS HEAD with the tag "SVN".

Uh, 30 hours?  What exactly is happening during this conversion process 
that makes it take that long?

If I understand properly it replays the CVS commits to maintain a full revsion history. There are
something like 18,000 commits for the past 7 years or so.

Thanks

Well creating the dump file is only 6 hours, but then there is the
preparations, the rsync'ing, the loading of the dump file and me
needing sleep once in a while and taking account for any unforseen
problems. Had I said 20 hours and not being done by that I would
have gotten about 20 what-went-wrong questions the minute that time
had passed.

Here is some statistics:

Total CVS Files:       15743
Total CVS Revisions:   76900
Total Unique Tags:     92
Total Unique Branches: 47
CVS Repos Size in KB:  214760
Total SVN Commits:     12413
First Revision Date:   Tue Jan 23 02:02:17 1996
Last Revision Date:    Thu Dec 30 21:24:20 2004
