The standard layout of a Subversion repository is described in the
Subversion book [1].  If your main repository is at $URL, then you can
check out trunk by typing

    svn co $URL/trunk

It is possible to ask cvs2svn to create another repository layout (even
one that does not have a separate trunk directory), but I highly
recommend that you stick to one of the standard layouts.
