I want to convert a CVS project to Subversion, using cvs2svn. It has a main trunk (HEAD), with several temporary development branches created from the trunk.

Hello! I'm converting a large, multi-project CVS repository into Subversion using cvs2svn.

In CVS we have on project with multiple directories in there. There is a nightly build that has to pull in stuff from different directory in the same CVS project in order to build the nightly build.
