I threw parsecvs into the pool of possible tools to use. From a quick glance, it gave the best results so far, but unfortunately also exhibits one major problem: it gets the branch-off of gnumach-1-branch from HEAD too late, thus on the first commit on the then-new gnumach-1-branch, all files that have been added on HEAD in the mean time (including the huge merge-in of oskit-branch -- the reason for creating the gnumach-1-branch). Talking to Keith Packard (parsecvs' author), he also didn't have an immediate explanation -- it might be due to CVS repository corruption. Also, the problems that the other conversion tools are having might be due to that. Either I get this potential error located and corrected in the RCS *,v files, or perhaps I'm simply -- as it's a one-time-only thing -- able to remodel a to-git converted repository into the right shape manually. > I'm not sure whether you saw my note on IRC: I suggest converting the > Hurd repository only for now, and postpone gnumach until we have a > solution for this problem.

I have some university work to be done right now, but I'll try to schedule some time for this later today. Regards, Thomas
