/trunk should never have received 1.15.1.2 at all, AFAIK.

Something feels wrong about the above, but I would need more context to say
for certain.

Hard to say. There is at least one bug in the cvs2svn branch code, though.
I've posted a patch to the svn dev list.
Is the data in the repository private? How big is the converted cvs

If you can make it available, I will try to help determine if the problem is
caused by mks2cvs or cvs2svn.
Max.
