John Keeping [off-list ref]:
Which I think sums up the position nicely; if you're doing a one-shot
import then the standalone tools are going to be a better choice, but if
you're trying to use Git for your work on top of CVS the only choice is
cvsps with git-cvsimport.
Which will trash your history - the bugs in that are worse than the bugs
in 3.0, which are bad enough that I *terminated* it.
Lovely....
