For what it's worth, I've installed git (no binaries for OSX 10.4, but the usual configure, make & make install worked out of the box). The git-cvsimport required a little tool called cvsps, which also compiled fine. (Guess stuff might be available through fink, for the lazy). Anyway, following the instructions on Savannah, I ran git-cvsimport -A ../authors.txt -v -d:pserver:anonym...@cvs.sv.gnu.org:/sources/adonthell adonthell and after about an hour on the 800Mhz box, everything was complete. Granted, that's only the first of a number of CVS modules, but I wouldn't bother much about adonthell-0.3 or wastesedge, as not much development will happen on those. tools will be interesting though. Not sure about gfx, after hearing what Ingo said about large binary files. Which brings me to another question. How would multiple CVS modules be handled by git? I came across this thread on Savannah (https://savannah.gnu.org/support/?106565), which offers a way to have multiple modules in the repository that can be checked out individually, if I understand correctly. It would require Savannah folks to set up stuff manually, though. Pretty late for today, but now I can play around a bit with the repository I have.
