If we can't get a snapshot of the CVS-Repo, there is a tool, which
will try to create it by using remote-access. (I have never used it,
so I do not know how well it works)
Apart from that we have used cvs2svn too, and it worked well for us.
I don't know how well it handles branches. Does JSFT has branches?
