yes, it is. ;-)

Nice! :-)

btw:

For the mutt tree there are a few 'empty commits' eg were the parent tree is the same as the current. This is because git ignores .cvsignore and they commited some .cvsignore files without any other deltas. I don't know if you want to handle this. Just a note.

Yes, it is, I had that problem before. For example tlr commtis the changelog seperate with '# changlog' or so log message and cvsps thinks because of the 'time fuzz which defaults to a way to high value' that three changelog commits are all one delta. And that it adds three entries. And what annoys me most in the wrong direction. So if you would apply them as patches they don't apply because of the wrong ordering.

Reference:
		PatchSet 3005
		Date: 2002/12/07 19:19:42
		Author: roessler
		Branch: HEAD
		Tag: (none)
		Log:
		# changelog commit

		Members:
			ChangeLog:3.7->3.8
			ChangeLog:3.6->3.7
			ChangeLog:3.5->3.6

Just call cvsps with -z "20" for the mutt repository also -z 1 should work because the timestamps of one 'commit' are all set to the same value.
