The current version seems to actually work with nontrivial repositories
(I'm importing gnupg at the moment, which recently switched from CVS to
SVN).

Also worth noting is that cvs->svn->git is somewhat more faithful WRT
importing CVS archives with "incomplete" or "funky" tags -- it exports
their state correctly to SVN, and my importer should be able to get them
out again. On the minus side, the two cannot generate the same changesets
because cvs2svn rounds timestamps to the next full minute.

Speed: Comparable to the CVS importer when crossing the network: both need
one roundtrip per file. I haven't done any tests with local repositories.
