I've read it and it appears SourceForge has created a simple to use
"migrate" function (using the CVS2SVN script) that SF project admins can
run. This is from the docs (http://sourceforge.net/docs/E09#import):

Import from SF.net CVS Repository:
* Backup <http://sourceforge.net/docs/E09> your repository.
* Login to the SourceForge.net website.
* Go to the project summary page
(https://www.sf.net/projects/PROJECTNAME).
* Click on the 'Admin' link.
* Click on the 'Subversion' admin page link.
* Click on the 'migrate' link on the 'Migration Instructions'
section of the page.
* Click on the 'SourceForge.net CVS Repository' radio button.
* Check the 'Replace' check box in the same column, if you wish to
replace the existing content with the new content to be added.
* Enter the value you want passed to the --parent-dir argument of
the "svnadmin load
<http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.ref.svnadmin.c.load.html> "
command into the 'Destination' field. For most users, this would be left
blank.
* Click on the 'Submit' button.
* The migration will be finished within 24 hours. It could be
finished in as soon as an hour or two, depending on the size of your CVS
repository and the number of projects queued for migration in front of
yours. Returning to the page will display whether it completed, failed
or is still in queue.

So, as I said I think it's pretty trivial and this can only be done by
Rob, since he's the project admin.

Greetings,
