Hi Jaqueline,

the cvs2svn-tmp is the temporary working directory of cvs2svn and not the
converted repository.

To convert your repo from cvs to subversion, start with a copy.

$> cd /enough/space
$> mkdir cvs
$> cp -Rp $cvs-repository  cvs/
$> cvs2svn --svnrepos /enough/space/MySVNRepo /enough/space/cvs --encoding=utf8

MySVNRepo is what you are looking for.

For 1) and 2) I have no short answer but you can install a tool like viewvc
http://viewvc.tigris.org/ to get an overview or inspect the header of the cvs files.

Hope this helps,

Regards,
olli
