Branching a whole Subversion repository

Jelmer,

I have only ever tried branching a specific directory of a Subversio
repository using Bazaar+bzr-svn, e.g.

	bzr branch svn+http://scons.tigris.org/svn/scons/trunk SCons_Trunk

The problem at hand is that I want to create a Bazaar version of the
whole repository as is what is done with Git or Mercurial.  Clearly
there are conversion tools -- though I am not sure which is currently
the best, adn I am not sure if they correctly construct a shared
repository with all the branches and tags as correctly in place as it is
possible to get.

Can bzr-svn do this sort of processing?  Basically is there a way of
doing

	bzr branch svn+http://scons.tigris.org/svn/scons SCons

and getting everything?

Thanks.

Russel.
