All that based on the assumption that when the project switches to git,

and just "import" the latest release in each branch as the starting
point for each branch. The git repository will have no history, and
people can choose which history they want to graft in... CVSROOT can be
made available as a historical download.
That would suck for me. I use git log a lot to see how things have
changed over time.
Indeed. Losing the history is not an acceptable option.
