cvs2svn - Try #2

A couple of months ago I tried converting our 6+ Gig 3.5 year-old (approx
7000 commit) repository from CVS to SVN.

Karl (and others) was very helpful but I noted a problem with WinCVS 1.2
which allows user names with spaces in them.

I've now written a script (slighly tested) which should work to convert
CVS repositories with the above propery to "proper" CVS repositories where
the username doesn't have a space in it. I'll send it in a separate
message in a bit for people who are interested.

I ran this last night and then ran cvs2svn on the repository (copy) and
cvs2svn converted the repository in about 2.8 hours to a DUMP file (7
Gig).

This morning I proceeded to try to load the dump file into a newly created
repository and after getting somewhere about 1/3 of the way
through I got the following error with cvs2svn as of rev 6600:

$ cvs2svn --dump-only cvsroot 2>&1 | tee output.log
$ svnadmin load --ignore-uuid < cvs2svn-dump 2>&1 | tee load.log

....
.....

     * editing path :
branches/ModCom_with_stl_alloc/source/lib/fslib_com/fscom_comhub.cpp ...
done.
     * deleting path :
branches/ModCom_with_stl_alloc/source/lib/fslib_com/Project/fslib_com.dsw
...svn: Filesystem has no item
svn: file not found: transaction `20d', path
`branches/ModCom_with_stl_alloc/source/lib/fslib_com/Project/fslib_com.dsw'

We have done a couple of branches (probably less than 5) in CVS and the
branches we have probably don't have more than 2 or three changes on them
so I don't think we've got a complicated repository at all. We've
probably got less than 30 tags.

Any suggestions? What can I do to help debug this? I've still got all
the cvs2svn conversion files.

   Thanks!
