	Well, "svn:" is the access method, and "svn://" is the start of the
subversion url... that's exactly how I converted my own CVS repo to perforce
as well (vcp couldn't handle my CVS repo either, so I had to first use
cvs2svn to convert it to a subversion repo, then use vcp on *that* to get it
into perforce... cheezy script attached).

	I don't *need* it, but I'd like to have it, and I'd like vcp to be
able to do it, so I masochistically forged ahead. :-)

	I've just posted another message with more details about the plight
of converting this particular svn tree to p4.

	Cheers,
