There are a couple of ways to accomplish this. One way is for you to produce an SVN dump file by running cvs2svn (if the CVS repository is on a server running both SVN and CVS). Then, see FAQ regarding moving projects from one SVN repository to another, above. Another way is to supply a tarball of the CVS repository (which may be a pruned copy of the repo, including only the projects that are to be migrated) to IST, which will allow an IST Subversion administrator to run cvs2svn using the command line options or options-file that you supply. If you are not confident of your ability to run cvs2svn or specify how to run the utility to obtain the results you want, IST can work through the conversion with you. In either case, please contact svn-support@lists.berkeley.edu to schedule this work. Depending on the scope of the work that must be performed by a system administrator or other IST staff, this may be a recharge service.
