I have in the past converted a "large" CVS repository, but for a
somewhat different definition of "large": it was a few hundred MB.
I have access to a largish machine with some free disk space, and I'd
like to give it a try. Please decide what should end up in a single
darcs repository (it is easily possible to combine CVS repositories),
and make the CVS repository somehow available to me. (http might be a
good method.)
I can then make the new repository available via http (i.e., read-only),
and I will report about the conversion procedure.
