    You can count me in.  I converted all of my websites and inside
projects from CVS to SVN earlier this year.  It seemed a daunting
task, but it was trivial at best.  I didn't use any of the automated
tools, though, I did it all manually.

    Not to mention the community of developers for SVN, add-ons, et
cetera, and the ease of use via Apache.

    I'd agree.  It may not hurt to write a quick script to do
real-life commits to both services from the command line, as well, in
the beginning.
