Indeed it's what I understood too.

</I>
Yes. It's already painfull to work because one year was lost in SVN history.
What's more it was the first year of SVN usage where we eventually did
major refactoring now that it was possible with SVN in a sensible way
(aka copying/spliting/moving files without loosing history).
Same for packages where we lost one year of SVN and where we didn't
import old CVS history (well that was history without commiter names
and without changelog but still)
