Ok. It's still converting (that's a big archive), but it has passed the 
cvsps stage without errors for me, and the conversion so far seems ok. But 
it has only gotten to

so it has converted only slightly more than the first two years of 
history in the roughly 30 minutes I've let it run. So it will take several 
hours.

Btw, trying this import (which got interrupted by a thunderstorm and one 
of our first power failures in a long time - just a few seconds, but 
enough to power off everything but my laptops) it became very obvious that 
"git cvsimport" really _really_ should re-pack the archive every once in a 
while.

Fortunately the storms haven't been that bad down in Corvallis. cvsps
also worked fine for me, but git-cvsimport broke in the middle. The
command I'm using is 'git-cvsimport -P ../gentoo.cvsps -k -d
/media/scm_comparison -A ~/dev/Authors -v gentoo-x86 | tee cvsimport.log'
