It sounds like a TkSVN issue - to be sure though, you can use the SVN command-line tool to check look through the repository.
I'd suggest the 'svn list <URL>' to browse through it. If on Windows; you may want to check out TortoiseSVN too.

Subject: Is there something fishy with branches created in CVS?

I converted a project from CVS to Subversion in early May.  For various
reasons I only got a workable TkCVS/TkSVN program going last week.  When
browsing the branch tree for a file I only see branches which were
created from trunk after the conversion.  I don't see branches which had
been created when he code was still in CVS, nor do I see any branches
descended from them.  These "invisible" branches are fine to use.  We
have a couple which are active.  We check changs into them and do
releases from them.  They just aren't visible in TkCVS/TkSVN.  We don't
have ViewVC installed on our Subversion repos yet so I can't check to
see if it has similar issues.  In case it matters, I'm using TkCVS
8.0.4.  8.1 and 8.2 have known bugs which have yet to be fixed.

Is this an issue with TkCVS, with cvs2svn or with my usage of it?  At
this late date (six-ish months after the conversion) is there something
I can do to "fix" the repository?

Thanks,
