We're moving from CVS to SVN, having migration issues...

The cvs2svn migration is not going well.  I hate to have to "checkout"
the CVS tree and import it clean into SVN without any history.  (Last
resort).

Apparently I'm hitting "Issue #1440"
http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=1440 and I have no
good workarounds... anyone have one that might solve my problems and
allow me to use the cvs2svn script?

As a "next-to-last resort", you could use the --trunk-only option to
cvs2svn.  This loses exact history of changes that took place on branches,
but should give a good conversion of changes on (and merges to) the trunk.

Other than that, I guess you (and I) will have to wait until issue 1440 is
fixed.
