We are in the process of converting to SVN from both our CVS and Perforce repositories. The CVS conversion went well with the help of cvs2svn . We had to tweak the mime types a little for jar files.
We weren’t able to get Perforce converted yet using p4tosvn. Still working on getting perl extensions to compile.

ViewVC has a great feature to log all checkins in a MySQL database. The only hitch was when I generated the database using cvsdbadmin script I specified the path using the drive letter. I couldn’t figure out why it wasn’t working and then we removed the c: and voila it worked.
Update – turns out I needed to include the full path in the config file. I also was able to setup the script to loginfo for real-time updates but I had to create a batch file to set the CVSROOT environmental varible.
