"ENC" is not a literal string that you should type into your command
line.  It is the place where you should type the name of the encoding
that you want to use a fallback encoding.  The standard encodings known
by Python are listed here:

    https://docs.python.org/2.7/library/codecs.html#standard-encodings

Other encodings are available via external packages, for the case that
you use something even more exotic.

So in the end you would type something like

    cvs2svn --fallback-encoding=utf_8 --svnrepos /shared/svn/oraclefr \
        /shared/cvs/oraclefr
