My guess is that the conversion with cvs2svn didn't go well enough. TSVN
shows that message *only* if it finds folders with a different UUID than
the one you've selected for commit. And the UUID must be the same for a
working copy without externals. You see, the UUID is from the
repository, so if your files are all checked out from the same
repository then all your files/folder should have that UUID.
If that's not the case, then your working copy is 'broken'. I suggest
you do an
svnadmin dump > repo.dmp
svnadmin load --ignore-uuid < repo.dmp
and then do a fresh checkout. That will get rid of already existing
UUID's in the repository and assing *one* new UUID to it.
