cvs2svn migration: making cvs branch as svn trunk while migration

Hello All,

I am Ravi working on a email systems.

Right now we release based on branch and our cvs head needs lot of clean up
to make it look like production. so we wanted to migrate to svn and make the
current release branch as trunk on svn and do not need to migrate any other
tags, branches.


we used the following command to create the dump file
cvs2svn --fallback-encoding=ascii --exclude='^test-email-core-br'
--force-branch=build-ready  --dumpfile emailcore.svndump email

my expectations are
1)   want  to see cvs branch called test-email-core-br  as trunk on svn and
will not see any other tags/branches
2)  there is branch and tag with the same name (as build-ready)
 so used --force-branch=build-ready to force tool to treat that as branch.
This is just to eliminate the validation error for ambiguity

but whe we see this module in svn , i see lot of tags got migrated. dont see
any recent files (latest file on svn is 3 years old). Trunk is neither any
cvs branch or cvs head.

Could anybody suggest me how to do this correctly? Cleaning head on cvs is
not an option because of many reasons.

Ravi MAV
