Thanks very much for the report!

This looks like it may be similar to a problem recently reported by
Mike Wilcox. I'll add your reproduction data to that issue

   http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=1417

...so watch there for further progress.

By the way, it's always best to include the exact cvs2svn.py command
line you used to reproduce with this data.

(For some reason, there's a weird epidemic in cvs2svn bug reports,
such that people always puts the traceback in the initial report, but
never the command line they used. I don't know why this is :-), it
just seems to be the pattern.)
