Error due to duplicate branch names

I am currently converting some legacy projects from cvs to
svn. This worked
fine for most of the projects but one, the largest one,
seems not to be able
to be converted.

The conversion ends with an error due to duplicate branches.
However, i
don't care about branches in this project but i want to
keep all tags and
all revisions. Is there a way to prevent cvs2svn in creating
branches but
keeping all revisions and tags? Or is there a way to make
the project to
create unique tags name (i.e. the python script does it
automatically or by
modification if the cvs repository)?

Here are two snippets out of the conversiation log:
