  41.                   The p4convert conversion tool imports data from Subversion or CVS and
  42.                   reconstructs the file revision history in Perforce. For CVS the data is
  43.                       read from the CVSROOT and for Subversion data is read from a dump file.
  44.                       Data is added to Perforce in one of two ways:
  45.                     
  46.                </p>

  49.                      <div>
  50.                         <div>

  55.                   <p>
  56.                      Revisions are imported into a running Perforce Server. The Perforce 
  57.                            Server could be new or contain existing data, but it must be running.
  58.                            Subversion revisions are added sequentially; file content is 'imported'
  59.                            and metadata such as file attributes, descriptions, dates and usernames
  60.                            are added to the Perforce changelist.  CVS data is sorted into 
  61.                            changeslists, based on available metadata such as date/time, author, 
  62.                            change descriptions and file actions.
  63.                          
  64.                   </p>
  65.                   <p>
  66.                            The recommended use of Import Mode is to start a new Perforce server to
  67.                            import each set of changes into a Perforce changelist. Using this
  68.                            method will produce a one-to-one mapping of Subversion revision numbers
  69.                            to Perforce changelists and a reproducible set of CVS changes. The new 
  70.                            Perforce server can be used in isolation to confirm the success of the
  71.                            migration and then merged with an existing Perforce Server using the
  72.                            <span class="application">PerfMerge++</span> tool.
