True, you did warn of this.  And yes, I have noticed that there are
two patches sent to the new svn repository and a few that were made
after the cvs2svn conversion so I will consolidate everything and make
sure that shows up in the import.

I am (I believe) running the final cvs2svn conversion.  I wrote a
program to diff the differences in trunks between all the subprojects
(CVS vs. svn) and went through the 40,000 diff to see some valid
newline changes (people committing windows-style newlines) and many
were just keyword changes ($Revision$ etc..)  However, there were
still a few "Binary files differ" but I think I have added the changes
for all of these now.  (Ended up being around ~1500 lines of binary
file exceptions, eek).

I'm pretty sure there is a way to sign up for svn notifications on
gna.org.  I remember reading about it at one time.
