I did convert projects individually. I told cvs2svn to just create dump files. I then used svnload to load the dump files myself so that I could make each project a top-level directory with it's own trunk, branches and tags.

I'd be happy to share my scrips, although there's nothing all that complicated about them. If that's how it worked, I'm sure I can cook my own. Just for confirmation: the svn revision numbers don't increase chronologically across 'modules', right: i.e. the first revision of the module that was converted second has a higher revision than the last revision of the first module, even though historically, the order should have been reverse. Not that this worries me much, but I'd like to confirm there is no other way.

Right. The revision numbers reflect the order in which they are added to the svn repo. I'm pretty sure the revision meta data, in particular the date, was retained. This is an advantage advantage of using the low-level dump/load mechanism.
