DONE. See 6c81eb2. The files are called historical_repository_conversions/README_cvs2svn_conversion historical_repository_conversions/README_svn2git_conversion historical_repository_conversions/authors.txt historical_repository_conversions/diff_git_versus_svn_tree.sh historical_repository_conversions/plplot.rules historical_repository_conversions/svn_tag2git_tag.sh In response to your request, the first one contains the overview of the cvs2svn conversion as gleaned from relevant plplot-devel posts in 2007. Once you do the branch removal we discussed, you should append a corresponding section to that second file describing what you did and how branches can be resurrected if needed.
