There is a tool called cvs2svn. I believe you can set it to import
the complete history. What I usually recommend is just to version
your releases, but that's just to ease the transition and capture the
core changes. Sort of depends on how old the project is and if it
went through massive refactoring making older releases obsolete. Of
course capturing the complete history is indeed optimal for most people.

To add to your list that are supported by Collabnet

Managed service support - Dedicated staff for upgrades, maintenance,
disaster reocovery
Guarenteed uptime
Web statistics - we use Wusage
Community Manager (that's me) - Site management, mentoring, go to guy
for help
Web Cache (We use Squid Cache)
WebDAV (front end for Subversion to allow mounting a repository -
best for maintaining web space - not code)
Daily backups
Offsite backups (we use IronMountain I think)
