Just a work-in-progress sample. I've done a pretty successful import
of a small tree with this patch. It is showing the merges /almost/ in
the right place. The almost is due to bad cvs practices, and not this
code.

Definitely doable, though it'll never be "nice" -- CVS doesn't have
the right data for this. I want to make the regexes configurable, and
have a more decent way of extracting the parent sha. B
