I think I'd prefer to do the conversion myself. I've had a first look at
the man page for git-cvsimport.

I take it I first need to scan the cvs log for all comitters and write a
cvs-authors file (I remember I had some trouble with character set
issues for the corresponding file when doing the hg migration for gmp.
Should the names here be in the $LC_CTYPE charset, or always utf8?).

Then, I'm not sure how to deal with branches, in particular, the -r and
-o options. I'm not used to git, and with hg I also haven't used any
"real" branches, I've just cloned the repository. I'm a bit scared by
"You should never do any work of your own on the branches that are
created by git cvsimport." in the man page.

I think I'd like to keep the possibility of doing cvs import more than
once.

What command line did you use? What branches did you end up with?

Regards,
/Niels
