Thank you for pointing this out. I had not heard of this problem  
before, but we were, in fact, also hit by this bug in the CVS to SVN  
conversion. It has manifested itself as incorrect properties such as  
" svn:mime-type" (note the extra space) on most of the files in the  
repository, which in turn is causing problems with some Subversion  
clients, as you witnessed.

I'll send out a note to the lists once I decide how best to handle  
this problem.
