But I would also really like it if branches retained history and were real branches. cvs2svn.pl seems to get branch points right, is it possible to reuse some of their work? For instance here is a log entry in the GCC svn repo via their online browser: Revision 39618 - Directory Listing Modified Tue Feb 13 08:46:00 2001 UTC (5 years, 1 month ago) by Copied from: trunk revision 39599 This commit was manufactured by cvs2svn to create branch 'gcc-3_0-branch'. For what it's worth cvs2svn also seems to pick branch points correctly for the cvs repo I would like to use in monotone.
