The root commits I see from October 2005 (implementing parts of the CVS-to-SVN transition) are pretty definitely him, since he was in charge of that transition. Two of the three root commits then are to the /hooks directory. That directory should be omitted from the conversion (it doesn't make sense to convert SVN hooks to git, any more than we converted the CVSROOT files to SVN - Jason will be working on the git hooks needed). At some point we need to work out the mapping for which subdirectories of /branches are actual branches and which contain branches a level lower down. In general I expect that subdirectories containing a ChangeLog file are branches and those that don't are not branches, but the list of those that are not branches should be reviewed manually (premerge-fsf-branch at least *is* a branch not a container, despite only containing a directory). In general, we should have a public git repository somewhere with all the configuration for the conversion, such as the author map and the configuration for branches. -- Joseph S.
