CONVERTING FROM CVS 65 66 If you're a CVS user trying to move your CVS history over to 67 Subversion, then be sure to visit the 'cvs2svn' project: 68 69 http://cvs2svn.tigris.org 70 71 You can get the latest released version of the cvs2svn converter 72 from the project downloads area: 73 74 http://cvs2svn.tigris.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=2976 75 76 Please note that the cvs2svn project is a *separate* project from 77 Subversion. If you have problems with cvs2svn or are confused, 78 please email the cvs2svn project's mailing lists, not the 79 Subversion lists. 80 81 Finally, be sure to see Appendix B in the Subversion Book.
