So you want to use SVN? Fine, it's easy to move a project from one to the other.

Get cvs2svn

Go to a checked out copy of your cvs project and run cvs admin -kb filename on any binary files.

Commit to CVS.

Assuming that you've got a simple CVS project with no branches that you want to keep, do this:

./cvs2svn-1.5.1/cvs2svn —trunk-only -s project-name /path/to/cvsrepository/project-name mv project-name /path/to/svnrepository/
