i'm not sure, but i have the strong suspicion that this does not work
with svn. a tag is just a name for a revision. you can't just take out
files from a revision. maybe cvs2svn creates extra branches with the
relevant files deleted. or it just breaks down completely ...
apart from that, this does not work when referencing by date. i always
hated this.
