I've converted to bzr (and git), and it worked as described - create
it locally and then "push".

The biggest problem I had was converting the old repository locally
from CVS before uploading it -- making sure all tags, author names etc
were converted correctly.  It is good to do a trial run on your local
machine first and use that for a few days, because sometimes those
problems are not immediately noticeable.

The Bzr fastimport plugin makes this a lot easier now, so there should
be fewer problems.

No, only your users ;-)
