Ah. This is likely a bug in cvs2svn. CVS (and the RCS on which is
built) does not version directories -- directories are just containers
for the file data that *is* versioned by CVS. Unless I'm mistaken,
cvs2svn only creates directories if they are needed as intermediate
path pieces toward some versioned file. If you have directories in
your CVS repository that are empty (have to ,v files at all), then
yes, I would expect cvs2svn to behave in the way you are seeing it
behave. I suppose we could, in --no-prune mode, forcibly create empty
directory structures where we lack them compared to the original CVS
repos.
