Of course, you can do such file-by-file merges in CVS and SVN as well,
and importing into git seems to work okay. What doesn't get tracked
is the actual merge history of the merged files. This isn't such a
problem when importing CVS and SVN, which mostly don't track merge
history anyway :)
Have fun,
Avery
