cvs2svn + vendor branch woes

From: Michael Sperber [Mr. Preprocessor] <sperber_at_informatik.uni-tuebingen.de>

This must be a well-known issue, but I didn't find anything
illuminating in the mailing list or in Issuezilla, so I'll ask anyway:

I can see why getting cvs2svn to work on branches is hard, and it
isn't absolutely necessary for traction with a lot of real-life
conversions.

However, one thing that's been supremely annoying is that cvs2svn
doesn't handle the trunk-nature of vendor branches up to the first
change right. This has completely messed up all CVS -> Subversion
conversions I've done so far, even though I didn't have any real
branches in the CVS repos.

I see the commented-out branch support in the current version
cvs2svn.py does refer to the vendor branch. Does that aspect of
branch support work correctly and might it make sense to enable it
selectively, without doing full branches?

Any help would be much appreciated!
