It's a really good idea. cvsps has been for a while a (limited, buggy)
attempt at that. One thing that bothers me in the cvs2svn algorithm is
that is not stable in its decisions about where the branching point is
-- run the import twice at different times and it may tell you that
the branching point has moved.

Huh? Really? Why is that? I don't see reasons for such a thing happening when studying the algorithm.

For sure the proposed dependency-resolving algorithm which does not rely on timestamps does not have that problem.
