I'm curious and ignorant, is the convoluted representation that Maxim described what SVN normally uses for tree copies, that any conversion tool from SVN to GIT thus ought to be able to figure out, or is it just an unusual artifact of the conversion from CVS to SVN, that we'd like to fix in the conversion from SVN to GIT with some specialized recovery for such errors in repos poorly converted from CVS?
