I'm currently doing just that, using CVSNT for my server.  I posted a
question on IBM's mailing list but didn't get squat - maybe you can help?

I'm trying to determine the best way (well, the easiest) to transfer all the
information in my VAJ repository to a CVS repository.  I have several
versions of code, and I'm trying to keep that version information.

To date, the best I've been able to theorize (and I haven't even gotten this
to work in practice yet) is to set up a repository in CVS for each project,
then repetitively check everything out into work folders, export the next
version from VAJ into the same work folders, then check that back into CVS.

I'm still a complete neophyte, though, because I don't know whether I should
use separate repositories, or simply separate modules for each of my VAJ
projects.  My guess is that it really depends on how closely related the
projects are.  For example, I have four closely related projects (internal
classes, external interface, and a couple of test environments).  Those seem
to make sense as separate modules within a single repository.

I don't know anything about module lists; it looks like I have to manually
create them for each module.  Are module lists suggested?  Required?  Not
required but highly recommended?

This is all great fun!  However, I could use tons more information.  Any
pointers to basic CVS information is fine, especially modules.
