First attempt at converting the CVS repo from sourceforge has

The tagging in the CVS repo appear to be lacking (the only tags that
appeared was Tcl-0-{72,75,85}) so I will spend a little time trying
verify the converted result and try to recreate some tags
matching the
most recent CPAN releases at least.
It seems like the history of the CVS repo starts with "Author: Jeff
Hobbs <[email protected]>; Date: Mar 22 2004; initial import of
Vadim's Tcl-0.72 Perl/Tcl bridge module into sf cvs". If you happen
to have a repo of earlier history, then we could add that to the GIT
repo as well.
very much thanks!
Will I be able to commit there? (I've just created my new user
"vadrer")
That can be set up or you can 'fork' it and we just define that as the
canonical version. If you can wait a little bit until the conversion
from CVS is "perfect" that would be good. Might not be until tomorrow.
I wonder - are you really "converting" repositories, or just
importing the latest source snapshot?
It seems to me that we could live without a previous history of
changes.
We could but since its not that hard to preserve the history I think
that's much better. The full CVS repos were grabbed from
sourceforge.net and then converted with 'git cvsimport' [1] before I
pushed it to github.

If you want I'll convert the TclTk repo as well.
may be just "importing" stuff would be enough.
