I am. I'm quite sure the SF website said that there would remain anonymous 
access... can you make sure that you indeed use anynomous access, instead of 
developer access?

Yes, the full history is taken over... including tags and branches. Those 
latter two are in subdirs on the same level as trunk/.

Tags and branches in SVN do not work in the same way. In CVS is it not 
possible to indicate a state of the repository, because versioning is done on 
a file level. In CVS, a tag would correspond to a version. E.g. the current 
version in SVN is: r4605, though only two files changed when going from 4605 
to 4605.

Now, branching in SVN is equal to a copy into another directory. Tags is 
similar, but, IMHO, really redundant. And trunk/ is the default branch, aka 
HEAD in CVS.

If this is not clear enough, please google around a bit; I'm no expert 
either :)
