The easiest way to push a bazaar branch into an empty Subversion
repository is using something like this:

$ svnadmin create /tmp/svnrepo
$ bzr push -d /tmp/my-bzr-branch /tmp/svnrepo/trunk

Please note that you can't push directly to /tmp/svnrepo since that
path already exists and has a history of its own that is different
from the history you are trying to push. This is the reason for
pushing to /trunk instead.
