I was able to import whole CVS history to git with 'corecode' fromcvs  
tool. I have src, xsrc, pkgsrc
and othersrc gitrepos with whole history(with all branches, but there  
are no tags e.g. there os
netbsd-5 branch butnot netbsd-5-rc4 tag). I can do incremental  
updates, too. which means that I can keep
my repos up to date with main CVS repository.

Git repo sizes for src and pkgsrc are:

module, CVS size, Git size
src     6.9Gb     1,1Gb
pkgsrc  2Gb       848Gb

Adam.
