It's also a downgrade. No branches or tags.

Maybe you have a different definition of "branches or tags", but in the new SVN repository we have separate "head", "stable/7", "stable/6", "releng/7.0", "release/7.0.0", etc. trees -- so whether SVN calls them "branches" or not, we have the same functionality with respect to stable and release branches as we had with CVS.
