Just to clarify a point that might be confusing to folks: What's really imported into Perforce every few minutes is a snapshot of HEAD (for src/ and doc/ anyways, don't remember for ports/), not the entire repository with all of the history, branches, etc. As you pointed out later on, converting the entire repository is a pretty big task, although I've heard several times about developers in the Subversion community using the FreeBSD CVS repository as test data. :-) Bruce.
