That's what I was starting to think.

I did almost that yesterday, except that I provided the name of a new
directory to clone into:
jesus% git clone git://icarus.com/~steve-icarus/verilog
icarus_verilog_cloned
...
jesus% ls -l
total 408
drwxr-xr-x 23 alan other 195072 Oct 18 09:33 icarus_verilog
drwxr-xr-x 21 alan other 4096 Oct 21 13:35 icarus_verilog_cloned
jesus% cd icarus_verilog_cloned
jesus%
That other directory is the result of following the steps to create a
new project, and the subsequent steps that I previously listed.

The last thing in my notes before your posting was "Create local
v0_8-branch branch?". Thank you for spelling out how to do that. And the
argument descriptions in the man page make perfect sense.

My CVS repository no longer contains the latest work. That's in the
"icarus_verilog" directory, a Git repository. If only there were Git
export/import commands ...
