If I find the time, I'll add some sort of pattern-match parameters to

repo with interesting branches and merges I have is huge, and takes an
hour to import. That puts a damper on things, unfortunately.

I was seriously considering just breaking the "remote cvs" support
entirely (you can always just use cvsup or something to download it to
make it local), and just taking the RCS parsing code from GNU rcs/cvs and
making a C language CVS importer. That would speed things up by an order
of magnitude or more, as far as I can tell.
