Alexander,

Thanks for the testing and feedback. At a minimum, it sounds like we
need to provide much better documentation. Maybe we need some code
changes as well to try and detect that the cvs.exe is one that works.

I've copied Michael as he's the maintainer of cvs2svn. What changes do
you suggest we make in that layer? What changes are needed above cvs2svn?
