For ipython, which recently went through cvs2svn, I found that moving over to a project/trunk structure was a few minutes worth of work. Since svn has moving commands, it was just a matter of making the extra project/ directory and moving things one level down the hierarchy. Even if cvs2svn doesn't quite create things the way you want them in the long run, svn is flexible enough that a few manual tweaks should be quite easy to perform.

Doesn't this give issues as every file the starts out renamed? e.g. what if you want "revision 100 of project/trunk/foo", but, at revision 100, it really was trunk/project/foo?
