Well, could create a stable branch in your repository, and update the files
via svn cp commands. See the transscript for explanation:

Checked out revision 0.
joe@freya:~/test$ cd testwc/
joe@freya:~/test/testwc$ mkdir trunk stable
joe@freya:~/test/testwc$ svn add trunk stable

This should work fine, and come very close to what you do with CVS.
