Michael, in case you're wondering why I've continued to work on cvs-fast-export when cvs2git exists, there are exactly two reasons: (a) it's a whole lot faster on repos that aren't large enough to demand multipass, and (b) the single-whole-dumpfile output makes it a better reposurgeon front end. > But the traffic on the cvs2svn/cvs2git mailing list has trailed off > essentially to zero, so either the software is perfect already (haha) or > most everybody has already converted.

I don't expect to be investing a lot of time in it after I get it to a 1.0 state. -- Eric S. Raymond
