Re: Failure in cvs2svn

I ran into this when doing my cvs2svn conversion. For me, it was
because I had a file in a folder and the "same" file in that folder's
Attic sub-folder. In other words, the file existed, got deleted, and
then got added again so there are two "entries" for that file name in
a folder even though one of them is "deleted" as far as CVS is
concerned.

/somefolder
     somefile.c,v
     Attic/
         somefile.c,v
