I also have a Full CVS converted to Subversion. And they have been to the best of my determinations thru ongoing testing fully converted. Id be more then happy to have others double check the integrity of both trees and see if something got missed. I seem to think this is doable. Seeing as Ive done it. And honestly Mercurial just rocks. Id prefer to host it externally if someone had some space, over all both trees consume space but not that incredibly awful. Any takers for testing?
