Hi,

monotone ships it's own cvs_import. I'm about to improve that, using
roughly the same algorithm as cvs2svn 2.0. The cvs2svn people are very
well aware that their version 1.x is good, but has problems in some areas.

Tailor does not have support for branches, but can only convert one
branch at a time. And it is not half as clever as cvs2svn regarding
clever reconstruction of broken or manually tweaked CVS repositories.
