I'll reply to tech as well because if you're wondering about this I'm sure others are too, and I'd rather not reply several times individually :) Not afaik. I'll type what I know: https://github.com/corecode/fromcvs tries to convert branches which are corrupt in the rcs files and fails. cvsps-based ones don't work because cvsps has some problems with the openbsd repo, probably also related to branches. The ones which don't try to convert branches do better, and are at least partially usable, but still have some problems: https://github.com/ustuehler/git-cvs has problems where commits made to a file after a 'cvs import' are misordered. https://github.com/yasuoka/cvs2gitdump seems to miss some commits like the one which started this thread.
