I don't! I haven't seen the history of the repo I need must pressingly
to import, but with less than 150 revisions total (in SVN revision
numbers increment across the entire repo, which includes all branches
and may even include completely distinct projects), and given the
intense awkwardness of merging in SVN until relatively recently, I'd be
surprised if there are even any long-lived branches in this history.
Since trunk, all branches, and all tags are equivalent to directory
copies placed at arbitrary locations in a tree in SVN, it would be very
hard to write a script that could handle branching automatically. E.g.,
your trunk might be in /foo/trunk and your branches might be
like /foo/branches/BRANCH_1 or /foo/BRANCH_1
or /foo/HINDI_WORD_FOR_BRANCHES/BRANCH_1 or whatever.

Anyway, I would be happy to use a script that could handle branching,
but for my purposes just following /foo/trunk will probably be good
enough.
