migrating just *some* history from CVS to svn

["Robert P. J. Day" <rp...@mindspring.com>]

  i'm looking at migrating a single CVS repo to subversion and, as it
turns out, i don't think the majority of the CVS history has a lot of
value.  quite simply, most of it's crap that was added, modified,
deleted, re-added and so on and the majority of it won't be missed.

  however, there is a single thing that would be useful to pull across
-- a repo-wide tag that represents (obviously) a snapshot from which
we'd like to able to build the project for a previous release.

  i don't see any obvious way to do this but i thought i'd ask anyway.
can this be done?  i'm going thru the cvs2svn docs page as we speak
and haven't seen anything yet.  thanks.

CVS export, and then I think the svn_load_dirs.pl script (or your own
to perform the same adds/removes.  Take a while, but useful.
