Usually cvs2svn creates the repository by itself, but if you want to create the repository manually before the conversion, then use the --existing-svnrepos option. > 2.

You should *not* delete options that you don't want to change. Many options require that a default be set by the options file. Rather, skim through the comments in the options file to see what options need adjusting for your conversion. Leave the other options untouched. But if, for some reason, you cannot convert the multiple projects at the same time (why not?) then read the section "One project at a time" in the documentation [1] and "How can I convert my CVS repository one module at a time?" in the FAQ [2].
