Which repo is it you are converting?  Is this available somewhere?

Unfortunately not, the content is a proprietary software package.

I'd appreciate any reports concerning "surrenders" of fromcvs.   
Additionally, it seems strange that tohg should have worked  
"better" than togit, as these are basically just different backends.

Some time passed since I did the tests. I had no time to do a
detailed investigation then. I'll have more time now and will
prepare a bug report, which is not easy because I can't sent you
the cvs repo, sorry. Any hints what would be most helpful for you?

I remember that togit reported a broken pipe. My feeling was
that git-fastimport aborted, which may be reason why tohg
worked better. I didn't try to understand more details. I never
read ruby code before and it was already a challenge for me to
get everything up and running (rcs, rbtree).
