If the bug is still unfixed and you haven't been able to diagnose for lack of 
repos, you could try the Eclipse CVS repo.

When I converted the Eclipse source to git I had a problem converting the 
whole repo, i.e. fastimport died. The conversion died so I excluded some 
large parts that were effectively forks and some websites.
