Yeah, I noticed that but haven't got round to investigating/resolving it 
yet. Bug.

It's based on the exit code of the cvs2svn process, IIRC.

Yep, the source code for the migration scripts is in the 'svn-migration' 
module in standard GNOME CVS. The usual details here:

http://live.gnome.org/Sysadmin/CVS/Anonymous

I've created an area where tarballs of the CVS modules can be 
downloaded. It's still building the tarballs atm.

http://svn-test.gnome.org/migration/tarballs/

I've copied 'gnome-infrastructure' in, as this might be of interest there.

Thanks,
