The cv2svn program goes to great lengths to make the newly-created
Subversion history realistic, but a perfect translation is seldom
possible when migrating from any file-oriented VC tool to a tree-
oriented tool like Subversion.
It's a bit late in the game, but did you take advantage of the following
cvs2svn option?
--cvs-revnums record CVS revision numbers as file properties
Also, cvs2svn will by default copy files that are CVS-tagged into the
corresponding Subversion directories under ^/tags. That would give your
team some orientation points.
Going forward, you need to redesign your development process to use
Subversion repository revision numbers instead of CVS file versions.
