Well, it's not like CVS makes it easy ... cvs2cl is about 50K of perl,
and is not very speedy or without bugs :-(. So maybe we are setting
the goalposts in the wrong place by supposing that the lowest-level git
history needs to be exactly what's wanted for human consumption.
As long as it can be postprocessed into the form I do want to look at,
and someone will volunteer to write that postprocessor, the question
doesn't seem like a showstopper.
Meanwhile, there seem to have been ten different solutions proposed to
the problem of working with multiple branches/checkouts, and I plead
confusion. Anyone want to try to sort out the pluses and minuses?
