Right.

Right.

No, the conversion creates a dump file and has svn load that. That must bypass
svn's normal processing. Ironically, the CVS files contain the substitution flag
that can tell is whether a file is "binary". The conversion script doesn't
pay any attention to that.  I'll modify out conversion script toset the svn
properties based on the cvs settings.
