CVS is a file-oriented VCS, whereas Subversion is a repository-oriented
VCS. Consequently, some of the information that CVS provided
automatically is not explicitly stored in Subversion. The data you are
looking for is, unfortunately, one of those things which Subversion
doesn't support. This is unfortunately something you should have
discovered before you converted, rather than after.
At this point, you are indeed going to have to write a script to
ascertain this information; I am not aware of any general purpose tool
for performing this kind of introspection. Indeed, it may not be
possible to create a truly general tool for this, since your development
style may be very different from others in a similar situation.
I wish I could be more helpful. There is some hope for the future
though, since there has been some talk about adding a copy-to property
(though possibly not until 2.0). This would likely be a multivalued
property that would record (e.g. in trunk) where a given revision was
copied to (e.g. a tag). This information would allow you to generate a
file's history from trunk and get the tags for free, which would be
precisely the data you are looking for.
