Re: Migrating CVS to SVN with custom tags folder hierarchy.

Dear All,

I almost managed to migrate from CVS to SVN. There is one more last
thing I think I would like to resolve (but not yet sure). Please see
attached picture (it is better then the one from my first message as
it is closer to truth). Thing is that if in CVS repository someone tag
a subfolder of project then, after running cvs2svn on that project, in
every tag folder we receive almost whole project folder hierarchy
where some of them are empty (on the way down from project root to the
taged subfolder). Is it possible to tell cvs2svn not to create those
additional folders? I think that it would be better if tag folder
contains the files and directories that were actually taged.

Best regards,
Przemyslaw
