Yes, that is actually the point. I mentioned further up in the thread
that our conversion is not perfect and we use cvs2svn to do that
conversion.

The problem Warren mentions is one that cvs2svn can't deal with, which
is that the interfaces/perl5 stuff exists in one place but no in
another. I have no idea if it is how the directories were removed from
cvs or what, I only know that removing the directories in the repo
entirely allows the conversion to continue.
