Didn't Joerg already come up with a tool to go from CVS -> Fossil? Fossil can then export to git. He's published the results below Fossil: http://netbsd.sonnenberger.org/timeline http://pkgsrc.sonnenberger.org/timeline Git: https://github.com/jsonn/src https://github.com/jsonn/pkgsrc So the tool to do the hairiest repo, as ESR puts it, has already been done.
