I think there are triggers that can be added to svn. Right now I have
upsted the ChangeLog manually to make sure no such thing is lost.
Or was the ChangeLog fully autogenerated?

The best upgrade thing with svn compared to cvs is that you can handle
directories too and do not loose the history. You can hack this to CVS but
then you have to have shell access and know how CVS is managed behind the
scenes.

I have done such a conversion and can do it again if you like.
My commits have not been to extensive so I can do it again without problem
after a conversion.
I thought you was behind this change so I happily started to
commit things. Hope you do not mind. :)
