Thanks for the reply.

I've hacked my way around the problem for the time being.  Attached is patch.

The patch basically adds any subdirectories it sees in each changeset.
 This means that in each changeset a directory appears, the patch will
try to re-add the directory.

It's a horrible hack, but it does work (in my case) when going from
monotone to svn.  I can think of many ways to easily break this hack,
so I don't really recommend it to anyone.  Hopefully, the patch will
inspire someone more knowledgeable in monotone and tailor to write
proper support.

I've also found another problem with tailor's monotone->svn
conversion.  In monotone, if I do the following:

monotone rename a b
monotone add a
monotone commit

and then try to convert to svn, tailor will loose a.

With that said, I'm not sure if it's fair to label monotone as a
"fully supported" source system.

Thanks.
