Yes, I tried. But as I emailed you already, it has problems groking all
the peculiarities of the FreeBSD CVS repository and I'm not that good at
RCS to figure out what to do exactly when problems like those arise.

Don't get me wrong, cvs2svn is doing a great job, it's just that the CVS
repo I'm dealing with here is so messed up :(
