According to Dries, we need to first convert cvslog.module

 From how I understand the module, there's a set of scripts which
manipulate the cvslog table, when triggered by cvs commits.

We would (simply?) have to rewrite these commit scripts to
populate the tables on svn commits.

That's my 2 minute overview of the problem.
