Which *might* trash your history.

cvsps v2 and git cvsimport work as advertised with simple, linear CVS
repositories.  I maintain a git mirror of an active CVS repo and run git
cvsimport every few days to sync with the latest upstream changes.  The
only problem I encountered so far was when you released cvsps v3 and broke
git cvsimport. :)  I had to manually downgrade to cvsps v2.2b1 and configure
my package manager to ignore cvsps updates, but I haven't had any problems
since.
