cvs2svn -- split multiple projects?

I'm wondering if it's possible (or even advisable) to try and split up
a cvs repository when converting to svn.

This cvs repository was just converted to svn:

    From: http://swishe.cvs.sourceforge.net/swishe/
    To: http://svn.swish-e.org/

Those are separate projects, but cvs2svn converted it all at once.

The projects were originally placed under "trunk" by cvs2svn, but
then they were moved around to make them "top-level" and
trunk/branches/tags are just under swish-e. That is, looked like this
when first imported:

    http://dev.swish-e.org/browser?rev=1875

The "problem" is that now change sets for different projects are mixed
together. If I was starting from scratch with svn I probably would
have preferred separate repositories for each project. For example,
users of swish-e might want to see commit messages for swish-e, but
not for the swish_website.

Of course, there are benefits to having them together if they are
somewhat related.

Anyway, my question is can a single cvs repo be split up when
converting to svn?
