cvs2svn resume?

I'm debugging a problem that occurs 8 hours into a cvs2svn conversion
(roughly 60k commits out of 79k).  It would be really handy if I could
tell cvs2svn to resume processing where it was.  Is this possible?  (I
see that you can specify the pass to start on, but all these commits
are in a single pass; I'd really like it to resume at a particular
commit ....).

Thanks,
Kylo

This conversation should really be happening on the cvs2svn mailing
list, but...

No, there is no way to resume cvs2svn within a pass.

You might try running OutputPass with the --dry-run option while you are
debugging; this avoids all output to svn and is thus considerably
faster.  But depending on what your error is, --dry-run might hide the
problem.

I don't know... You might have more luck asking on the cvs2svn  
mailing list; not everyone here has used that tool.

I don't think that there is a resume possibility with cvs2svn.
But I'm quite sure that you can edit the dump file and remove all the revisions that have been commited yet (they are just following one another). The only problem is that you may have to renumber them (Which could be done with some awk/sed commands). Make a try on a new repository.
