I don't think that svn means to suggest that you 'should' be willing to
lose history, only that many people seem okay with it. Hence there has
been little motivation for others to improve cvs2svn.

I'm with you. I mentioned to him that people had expressed an interest
in merging pre-cvs change history onto the front of our tree. That
dropped his jaw a bit ;-)

I think that code is very bad at expressing intent, and good history
partially mitigates that.
