Lots of commits that look like this:

commit c50da22b6050e0bdd5e2ef97541d91aa1d2e63fb
Author: PostgreSQL Daemon <webmaster@postgresql.org>
Date:   Sat Dec 2 08:36:42 2006 +0000
   This commit was manufactured by cvs2svn to create branch 'REL8_2_STABLE'.
   Sprout from master 2006-12-02 08:36:41 UTC PostgreSQL Daemon
<webmaster@postgresql.org> ''   Delete:       src/backend/parser/gram.c       src/interfaces/ecpg/preproc/pgc.c
src/interfaces/ecpg/preproc/preproc.c

It seems there's something that cvs(2svn) doesn't like about the
history of those files.  Magnus tried obsoleting the revisions that
show up as modifications of the dead revision, which seems to make
that history basically identical to the histories of other files that
are handled properly, but evidently there's still something wonky
going on.
