Question

Answer 1

A:

I did not understand what your concern was for converting at /proj/cvs? Do you want only specific folders go into SVN? I've written recently about the migration tools here. If you can elaborate a bit on your concerns I may be of some help.

Answer 2

A:

The basic command would be something like

cvs2svn --dumpfile dumpfile.dat /proj/cvs

By default, cvs2svn includes all branches and tags in the conversion. If you want to customize your conversion in other ways, cvs2svn has many other option that allow you to do so.

The above command creates an SVN dumpfile called dumpfile.dat. You need local (filesystem) access to the Subversion repository to load the dumpfile into it using the svnadmin load command. Thus you will have to get your IT people either to give you filesystem access to the SVN repository, or to load the dumpfile that you give them into the repository for you.

From my expirience, you can load the dumpfile directly to the server after you create an empty repository on the server.

AFAIK the only way to load a dumpfile into an SVN repository is using the "svnadmin load" command, which requires filesystem-level access to the SVN repository. So you have to copy the dumpfile to the SVN server then run "svnadmin load" on the server. Thus the OP cannot avoid getting help from his/her IT people.
