Providing new version of repository for a check-in

All,

I'm working on setting my group up for transitioning to svn from
cvsnt. To give us a sane, usable history in svn, my plan was to take
the last n "daily" builds that we tagged in cvs, and dump each of
those into svn. However, it seems like in order to do this, I'll need
to:

1) export tag from cvs
2) checkout latest trunk from svn, into a different folder
3) write a script to recursively copy over the export from cvs,
removing all non-subversion files from the svn WC that aren't in the
cvs export, and adding all files that are in the cvs export but not in
the svn WC, as well as copying over all files that exist in both
locations.

This seems like something that svn should be able to do somewhat on
it's own (take a directory structure and just consider that the "new
revision" of the respository.

Am I out of luck, or just missing something? svndump is out of the
question, as I need to have this automated on a build server that's
talking remotely to the cvs/svn server.

Thanks much,
Aaron
