I haven't imported from CVS so I don't know exactly. It sounds like
you have a directory in each CVS project called "trunk" (or else,
cvs2svn is creating it for you; I don't know because I've never
looked at cvs2svn).
Sounds like you may want to import to a structure like this first:
repository
projectA
trunk
branches
projectB
trunk
branches
And then as a second step, after you're done importing it like that,
rearrange it to be in the layout you want:
repository
trunk
projectA
projectB
branches
projectA
projectB
Like this:
svn mkdir $REPO/trunk
svn mkdir $REPO/branches
svn mv $REPO/projectA/trunk $REPO/trunk/projectA
svn mv $REPO/projectB/trunk $REPO/trunk/projectB
svn mv $REPO/projectA/branches $REPO/branches/projectA
svn mv $REPO/projectB/branches $REPO/branches/projectB
svn rmdir $REPO/projectA
svn rmdir $REPO/projectB
Perhaps you can ask on the cvs2svn list whether there is an easier way.
