This is a shell statement; it assigns the name of a project (XXX in 
my example) to the shell variable project. Wherever $project later 
is mentioned, that value is used.

Yes, this does the conversion once at a time. If one uses just 
$CVSROOT instead of $CVSROOT/$project, the whole CVS repository is 
converted at once. One needs to leave off the --parent-dir option at 
the svnadmin load command then, too.

But in my opinion this is only sensible if the projects are very 
tightly related. Otherwise, the resulting SVN directory structure 
with trunk, tags, and branches is not practical.
