There was a discussion on -hackers and/or -chat a while back about this.
I can't find the whole discussion anywhere right now, but there are a
few messages in this -chat digest, towards the end between Narvi and
Lev:

http://groups.google.com/groups?q=subversion+symbols+group:*freebsd*&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&selm=20040109200044.8363C16A4D3_hub.freebsd.org%40ns.sol.net&rnum=5

I had tried converting the FreeBSD repository at around the same time
and found the same issues.  Basically, the repository needs a fair bit
of manual clean-up.
