The creator of them should be shot (neither name conforms to our standards, we prefix all tags with T_ and all branches with B_ for CVS, thankfully we can ditch that nomenclature with svn), but, that said, why does Subversion care? If it can differentiate that one is a branch and the other is a tag, couldn't it "Do the Right Thing(tm)?" Not that I really care, I'm going to delete both the tag and branch in this case, this is more for my curiosity ;-)
[Your mail client needs to wrap those long lines]
What *is* the right thing to do? It's likely that the person who
created it made a mistake, but did he intend to have a tag or a
branch? Or was it really his intention to use it as a branch in one
part of the repository, and as a tag in another part?
I think manual intervention is neccessary here, and until (if ever)
cvs2svn.py has a feature to let the user override these things during
conversion, you will have to fix the CVS repository before you start.
