OK, thanks, the main problem last week was all my fault, sorry about that false
alarm.

Today, I've started on an untainted user (not newly created but definitely
doesn't have all of the gunk I have been using for years, and I confirmed
no environment variables, etc.).  I did it "wrong" a few times (I've been
paranoid and basically redoing ALL of my steps), and forgot to include
--default-eol=native.

I did *NOT* have to remove even the Attic version of that one test tool, so
the spaces-in-filenames issue was all my fault.

However, the one I just ran is:

/Users/Shared/cvs2svn-2.4.0/cvs2svn --use-cvs --encoding=UTF-8 --default-eol=native --dumpfile=cvs2svn-dump /tmp/HIServices

A .lisp file is still different (I should just try marking that as binary and
see if that fixes the issue), I see one .icns file that *is* binary that
diff says differ.  That may be bad.

But the main issue that was making me try to be a perfectionist is still there
<               $Log: FILENAME.c,v $
---
>               $Log$

So I think I give up the white flag and will just remove the $Log$ at 
TOT in CVS before conversion, and the various tags through history will 
be slightly "wrong", but people can check cvs for real if they really really
need to.

Oh, one other minor enhancement request.  I guess this is really a CVS 
"problem", but having to make a CVSROOT directory inside of my copy of the
repository is just the kind of thing that's easy to forget.  It would be
great if cvs2svn noticed this situation and just created that empty 
directory if necessary.

Thanks for all the help.  I may end up doing the 'final' conversion later
this week, I'm not sure.  I'll figure out these other issues (the .icns file
and the .lisp file) first.
