If you hit any snags, you may be interested in contacting the admin for
scipy.org.  The scipy CVS repo choked cvs2svn pretty badly a while ago, but
recent efforts eventually prevailed.  This afternoon an email arrived from
him:

Hi all,

The issues with converting our CVS repository to Subversion have been 
resolved, and so I'd like to make the switch tomorrow (Friday) afternoon.

I know Joe was in contact with the SVN devs to work on this, so perhaps he's
