how do i fix a broken svn repository?

Hello,

i don't like subversion because it doesn't follow symlinks and steals my time because i have to write proprietary configure
files for what i do with just a symlink in CVS... but people insist that svn is better because it is newer and i really don't
care since i will keep using CVS forever.. i just use CVS and .svn in the same project directories and it works fine...

until now... svn makes trouble.. the add option seems to be recursive which is ridiculous.. and it added the CVS directories to
the svn repository.. and now the svn repository has cancer (see below)

is there any way to fix this except re-importing the whole svn repository?

or will you rather advice me to stop using svn? because svn can't be just fixed using a editor like it is done with CVS?
