Thanks for the reply! I'm glad I'm not the only person crazy enough to attempt this :)

Right - and you used this method to import the original history into the svn-trunk branch, as well as any new patches? Or did you do a once off import of the history using a different method?

Out of interest - how long is the history you're importing? Mine is about 32,000 commits and it takes forever to import into SVN (only to get to a broken point and have to start again...)
