Yes, however, I recall that some clients have problems with displaying
history across renames (in particular, I believe viewcvs has this
problem); also, it becomes difficult to refer to an old version by
path name, since the old versions had all different path names.

Jim Fulton has suggested a different approach: cvs2svn can create
a dump file, and svnadmin load accepts a parent directory. Then,
no renames are necessary.
