Issue URL: http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=1362
Reported by kfogel.

The problem is that when "cvs import" creates a new file, r1.1 and r1.1.1.1
very often have the same time (created within the same second). cvs2svn
resyncs 1.1 to seperate these revisions. The result is lots of resyncs, even
though there is nothing "odd" with the cvs respository. If there are no
adverse consequences, cvs2svn could resync only when a later revision is
strictly earlier, rather than earlier or equal to the preceding revision.
