Hi,

I recently looked at the symbol_info.txt file produced by cvs2svn.
It's HUGE - I get over 840,000 lines.  And most of those lines are
"noise" - if a tag is in 10,000 files, then a "possible parent"
that's only in one file is really not interesting.

The attached patch allows me to specify options that cut down the
noise and leave me with a ~100,000 line symbol information file.
That's still big, but it's a lot more manageable.

The default behaviour is unchanged.

Kind regards,

Jon
