GeoTools and GeoServer both had success using cvs2svn.  As far as I know 
the full history made it over, a svn log gives you all the log messages 
that have ever happened.  I highly recommend it for all projects, using 
svn is really nice, and really easy to transition to from cvs.  The 
commands are a cinch, the only change is how you think about it, and 
there's a really good book online about it all.
