Thanks,

I have made some modifications to get the script working as well. I was able 
to convert some simple (really small test repos).I wanted to try to convert 
my real big repo (>10k files, >5000 revisions) before mailing it. However, as 
running this conversion will probably take more than 24hours I will do so 
next weekend.
I will check your script and integrate my changes (if there are any relative 
to yours) after that.
