CVS - CVSNT - SVN Migration

We are working with CVSNT and decided to use SVN.

Migration from CVSNT to SVN or CVS is not possible.
From CVS to SVN, tool is available at http://cvs2svn.tigris.org/.

The converters from other repositories to SVN is listed at http://subversion.tigris.org/links.html#converters

Despite the fact that cvs2svn officially doesn't support conversion from CVSNT, many people report good results provided they follow a few guidelines. Be sure to verify the results of the conversion before you rely on it.
