Converting a repository means importing the complete information of the 
previous repository into the new repository, so that you never need the 
old repository for any reason whatsoever.

If you want so much to remove existing tags and branches, what is that a 
sign of? Is SVN appropriate for handling projects that have many tags and 
branches? What about future branches and tags, will I have to justify them 
before I create them, so that there aren't too many at once?
