Besides the fact that you must have used -N, remember that you don't need all
those merging tags anymore (forever). You can either live with a single tag per
branch which you move along, or don't use tags alone and use svnmerge.py (see
contrib scripts in 1.3). I am going to write some details in the wiki about
this (I wrote svnmerge.py).

In fact, after the subversion conversion is over, we can "svn delete" all those
merging tags for good since they're there because you can't delete them in CVS
but we really don't need them anymore (before anybody asks: "svn delete" keeps
history of course).
