Passes content comparison. I hadn't thought to check permissions; I'll add
that to my check tool.
Content bugs would surprise me. They're not uncommon when converting
CVS, because CVS metadata is...I'll just say "fragile". Not so with
Subversion; the data model is different from Git's but the fact that
Subversion already has changesets removes a lot of error-prone
complexity from the translation logic.
