Hi, The question is: How is it best to do this?
AFAIK, most people use cvs2git which is part of cvs2svn: https://github.com/mhagger/cvs2svn <https://github.com/mhagger/cvs2svn> I think it is pretty stable, well-tested, and well-documented. The $Id$-lines should all be removed because that doesn’t work with git. Cheers, Guido
