I have tried to use at least two different conversion tools, with no success. Don't recall which ones. Our CVS source tree is pretty ugly, so I wasn't surprised.

There's more than one approach we could take. We could just start fresh with subversion and check in current sources, and keep the old change history in CVS. Or we could create several (as many as needed) incremental versions from CVS and check them in successively to SVN. Or we could write a script that would grab versions from CVS and commit to SVN. We don't have to get the structure perfect before we start, because once in subversion, you can rename files and directories and move things without destroying history. Tim
