there is no 'one true way' to handle branches and tags in subversion,
it's all up to the admin of the repository how they want to set thigns
up. that said, the way we've been doing things in subversion's own
subversion repository is that the top level looks like this:
/tags
/branches
/trunk
the mainline development is in /trunk, with tags made in /tags and
branches living in /branches. so when cvs2svn.py is taught to know
about branches, it should probably do something similar. the main
code should go in one directory (like /trunk), and tags and branches
should live in separate top level directories.
