It would have been possible in the process of using cvs2svn, which could
have generated subversion properties to collect the CVS revision
numbers. I decided against doing so, as this will become less important
over time, and I was uncertain if we would still have to carry those
properties around on the trunk forever. I also expected that in most
cases, it should be easy to find the relationship from the commit
messages. Also, nobody requested that feature in the test installation.

If somebody wants to come up with something (e.g. rerunning the 
conversion, only to create some kind of mapping file): the
tarball that was used to do the conversion is at
