Oh, I don't mind -- we may as well bury cvsimport but I can't do C
like I can do Perl, and I surely want to help on this one.

Meh, had you done it in Perl, I'd be helping you with the Pg repo,
attic files and ensuring that files created on a branch and then put
into HEAD are handled gracefully. (But you'll get Linus' and Junio's
attention. Smarty cookie.)

Does it run incrementally? Can it discover non-binary files and pass -kk?
