Sounds fine, but then again, deleting any tags/branches you don't need
is fine, too. Two reasons for that: the CVS -> SVN conversion process
creates those to capture everything it saw, but it doesn't have any
dependency on them remaining in existence. And also: as a version
control system, Subversion always lets you go back to any previous
point in history.
