Actually this seems to be the problem. I redid the conversion and just made a
trivial modification to a file and committed it without any moves. The entire
file was one big diff where all lines were changed. Looking at the vss2svn
source code it is not properly converting in all cases. I've patched it, but
I'm not positive what the file format of the dump file should be. I don't know
if the content should always be LF internally, or if it must match whatever
eol-style is. I'm changing it so that it always outputs text files in LF and
will see how that goes (based on the way that the .svn/text-base files are
matching the dump file I am thinking I will be in the right for this change).
At least for sure, for now, I know that svn mv or the fact that svn doesn't
support moves natively is not of any relationship to my problem.
