full import from cvs to svn / search svn history

you can try to import your CVS repository with all associated history into Subversion
.... is the most desirable and also the most difficult. Fortunately, some tools exist to help with this, including cvs2svn, a program that attempts to import your old CVS projects and their history into a Subversion repository. cvs2svn can be downloaded from http://cvs2svn.tigris.org/

Converting from CVS to Subversion

And search old code:

• http://svnquery.tigris.org/
• http://svn-search.sourceforge.net/
• http://opensolaris.org/os/project/opengrok/ (might work on cvs, too)
  
• http://supose.soebes.de/wiki/supose
  

This might make it easier to delete obsolete code without loosing access to the smart things you did there - if you should need to look at it again someday...
