Exactly! :)

That's great news. :] Would I always have to explicitly use -b1.1.1 on 
future imports then or does it imply that? Anyway, looks like I've got 
reason to be happy again... :D
I surely felt we were talking in circles so far...

Right. It just does so with branch/trunk swapped. It doesn't really 
matter to me which way round it is but as there are already numerous 
revisions imported to the vendor branch it'd be nicer if I could just 
keep it that way. Sounds like you've fixed that. :)
