Description

With the resolution of issue 1421, cvs2svn.py converts the xiph.org repository
without reporting any errors. We were all excited to finally be able to switch,
but it seems we're not out of the woods yet.

After conversion of the attached minimal-ish subset of the repository,
branches/libogg2-zerocopy/ogg/doc is missing all files but index.html, and that
file reports incorrect history in 'svn log'.

Furthermore, after converting the full repository (available upon request) 'svn
log' actually fails:

giles@snow:/tmp$ svn co http://svn.xiph.org/branches/libogg2-zerocopy/ogg/doc
giles@snow:/tmp$ cd doc
giles@snow:/tmp/doc$ svn log index.html
svn: Filesystem has no such node-rev-id
svn: REPORT request failed on
'/!svn/bc/4581/branches/libogg2-zerocopy/ogg/doc/index.html'
svn:
reference to non-existent node '9w.99.3io' in filesystem '/svn/xiph/db'


(this particular example is available live from our test repository, but
probably for a limited time)

This may well be a manifestation of issue 1515, but I wanted to provide a
specific example of our problem.
