Attached is a quick hack to make cvs2svn work in incremental mode. If 
you have the CVS repository available locally (via rsync?) this can do 
what you wish.

It adds a --incremental mode which is used after the initial conversion 
is done. You need to keep the cvs2svn-data.revs file from the previous 
run to work incrementally.

It applies to latest /branches/cvs2svn-mmacek in the subversion repository.

WARNING: only lightly tested, I suspect a few bugs.

A big problem is when something happens (disk full, ^C), there is no way 
to recover, you need to start from scratch (create new repository). A 
solution  to this problem could be saving the CVS revision numbers in 
svn properties.
