The branches aren't that critical and can be sorted after the migration is=
=20
finished. All we have to do is separate the release (maintenance)=20
branches from the work branches.

Then we set a date for all branches to be "retrieved": that is, one=20
responsible for the branch will move it out of wherever it is=20
(say /branches/cvs) and place it in /branches/work/. All branches left=20
unchanged will be deleted at this date.
(svn rm branches/cvs)

The critical thing here is the moving of things in /trunk and the release=20
branches. Renaming/moving after people have checked out is not a good=20
idea, because that may trigger the whole download again.

So, summarising (and making a work proposal):
1. The structure in /trunk is set before the Subversion repository is=20
released for the general public.

2. The structure in /tags is set before the repository is released:
=2D /tags/appname/release

3. /branches will be set as follows before the release:
=2D /branches/appname/release - for all application maintenance branches=20
=2D /branches/cvs - for all imported work branches

4. Between the repository release and two weeks after, developers will=20
retrieve their branch contents from /branches/cvs.=20
Example:
svn mv branches/cvs/proko2/kdepim branches/work/kdepim-proko2

5. Two weeks after the repository is converted, the old branches are=20
erased:
svn rm branches/cvs

If someone misses the deadline, the branches are still retrievable, so=20
don't despair.
