My personal feeling is that you do a reasonable job and then just give
up. At a certain point, the old stuff doesn't matter very much
because you rarely ever use it except to see how the code used to be.
When I converted cmucl cvs to git, a few mistakes were made, like cvs
branches that weren't git branches and some tags weren't correctly
applied. But I found that those didn't really matter because I never
look back that far anymore since those branches were essentially dead
and most of the bad tags didn't matter because the important tags were
correct.
