Which provides a temporally out-of-order changelist. This is _begging_
for arbitrary pain, especially if any components happen to come from
the same relative locations. You know, like "[repourl]/trunk", which
is the standard location for an independent repository's main
codeline? Unweaving that into different locations is simply begging
for pain.
The simple answer is "don't". Make a clean break: Lock down the old
repositories, do an "svn export" to a new trunk, and have the first
commit include a pointer to the old repository.
