I don't think tags should pose any problem.  While I havn't tried
cvs2svn mentioned above, I have converted repositories to mercurial
format using tailor, preserving all relevant information.  Since
tailor supported CVS and Subversion long before Mercurial, I'll bet
that those conversion will run smoothly.

Is anyone with access to the current CVS repository listening?  If so,
any opinion?
