that's to put it mildly. one could also say that it monumentally screwed
up entire branches, probably most of them (i wonder how you approached
that?).

a more reliable way would be probably doing a "naive" cvs2svn conversion
(which does not consider server-side moves) with a current version and
then fix up the history (remove the ghost files) with svn2git min
revision rules.
of course that would mean that all rules before the the old revision
would have to be re-adjusted ... but well, i'm not saying anything new
here, so whatever.
