question for cvs2svn

hi, sorry for my poor English writing.=20

i am a developer and assign to convert cvs to svn with giving a cvs
repository folder. A lot of question and error that i hit as below:

1. Based on my research, CVS RSC file will move in attic folder for recover
purpose(http://www.network-theory.co.uk/docs/cvsmanual/Attic.html). but wha=
t
will happen in svn2cvs when converting this kind of file? the file will be
save in to the subversion backup system or it will just excluded in the
converting? how i am going to put those file to subversion backup system? =
=20

2. As the forum and FQA get telling on the optional on
--retain-conflicting-attic-files to display on my attic folder. i using
"cvs2svn --retain-conflicting-attic-files  -s <subversionNewRepositionPath>
<cvsRepositionPath>" and hit error as below:

----- pass 2 (CleanMetadataPass) -----
Converting metadata to UTF8...
WARNING: Problem decoding log message:

ERROR: There were warnings converting author names and/or log messages
to Unicode (see messages above).  Please restart this pass
with one or more '--encoding' parameters or with
'--fallback-encoding'.

As display, it suggest me to use --encoding=3DENC or --fallback-encoding=3D=
ENC.
when i read on the documentation, it show that log message will be lost whe=
n
using --fallback-encoding which i not prefer on this. i using --encoding an=
d=20
it happen the same error(i'm tired on this with trying encoding in every
"all language" in
http://docs.python.org/library/codecs.html#standard-encodings). Is there an=
y
solution for this?

3. if i am not using optional --ratain-conflicting-attic-files and using
suitable encoding code, it work. After everything had been converted, i
check on the history using eclipse some of them had lost. In my cvs server
most update history date will be 2/5/2011 but it showing the most latest is
2/7/2007. why this will be happen? is that bug in cvs2svn?or i need to run
on cvs server in order to get everything correct? i try to run many time th=
e
result still is the same.=20

i am still new in cvs and svn server. if any-mistake please correct me!=20
Thank you.
