Re: Inverting cvs2svn's trunk/<project> to <project>/trunk

Well, the short version is that you are right.

Based on the Subversion manual, it sounded like multiple renames,
which are really just bundles of delete/add functions, might lose
track between renamed tags which would be based on renamed trunk
changesets.

I did a test on a copy of my repository and it looks like it does in
fact keep track between tags, branches and trunk. So, since I have a
lot of tags and branches, I must now hunker down and write a script to
do all the renames...
