The import has completed after 92 minutes for 2642 revisions.  However
there is one extra directory level present in the svn that isn't
present in the cvs.  I think you will want to fix that before using
it.  It is easier to do now than later.

Let me know when/if you fix the extra directory level and I will
import it again. :-)

You can diff the resulting working copies.  Something like this:

  mkdir /tmp/compare
  cd /tmp/compare
  mkdir cvs
  cd cvs
  cvs -z3 -d:pserver:address@hidden:/sources/gap co gap
  cd ..
  mkdir svn
  cd svn
  svn co svn://svn.savannah.nongnu.org/gap/trunk gap
  cd ..
  diff -r --brief --exclude .svn --exclude CVS cvs svn

I see that your svn import has this directory structure:

  gap/ChangeLog
  gap/LoginApplication.m
  gap/gap
  gap/gap/GNUmakefile
  gap/gap/GNUmakefile.postamble
  gap/gap/GNUmakefile.preamble
  gap/gap/bundles/
  gap/gap/libs/
  gap/gap/ported-apps/
  gap/gap/system-apps/
  gap/gap/user-apps/

I think you created one more gap directory than you wanted to create.
If you would like to fix that and put a new gap-svn.bz2 file there I
would be happy to import it again.  If it were me I would fix that so
that the directory structure is correct.  It is easier to do now than
later.

If I diff at the same level of directory then I think I only find
directories that were removed in cvs but the cvs side must keep the
empty directory around to support the Attic.

  diff -r --brief --exclude .svn --exclude CVS cvs/gap svn/gap/gap

So I think all else about the import is okay.  It would be good if you
were to review it since you are familiar with the project and will
know for certain.
