Perhaps link the 'howto' docs from the git formal docs, so they are visible via http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/

Yup, run trial conversions for about half a dozen cvs repos, and currently tracking external cvs projects with git too. Will update docs as I find time.

I recently wrote one such 'shared repo' tutorial for internal consumption at work. Should clean it up, and add to the howto dir. The incentive here would be to see the howtos on the web - and then I can point people at it directly.

Personally, I want to complete the Arch import. I'm interested in feedback on the current code -- anyone has an interest in migration from Arch or similar patch-centric SCM?
