I made the mistake of importing code under two vendor branches into my CVS repository several years ago.  I'm now trying to use cvs2svn to migrate to SVN. 

While running cvs2svn, I get errors such as:

WARNING: in '/home/cvs/src/contrib/one-true-awk/FILES,v': branch '1.1.1' already has name 'Y', cannot also have name 'X', ignoring the latter

I assume that I need to fix the CVS repository prior to running cvs2svn to work around this problem.  However, I don't know the best approach to clean up the mess.  I don't care about the history of the second vendor branch, but I don't want to disrupt the files that were committed this way that are now on HEAD and release branches.

I've also posted this on stack overflow here:

I'm using cvs2svn 2.4.0 on MidnightBSD with python 2.6.8.
