If you run cvs2* with the --skip-cleanup option, then you can restart
the conversion after any completed pass by using the -p option.  You
don't need to clean up any files manually; cvs2* will overwrite the ones
that are created in the re-run passes.  (Passes only ever write new
files; they never modify files created by earlier passes.)
