i have looked at the svn import and i am not sure how to use that. there is a branches directory which contains the old cvs branches, but no trunk and, the actual stable branches are not branches.
trying to import that at once will not work, so i'd have to try to import the branches seperately and redo the branches like i had to do with cvs.
how did you figure out when files were deleted? the only obvious assumption would be the time when the branching happened.
i also wonder why they have been deleted from the repository itself instead of using cvs to remove them, which should have placed them into the attic.
greetings, martin.
