Martin, (and Martyn),

I just cloned the gitcvs via git locally, exported it via gitcvs, and ran "cvs log" and "cvs annotate README" there.

Good job. I really had a good laugh looking at the generated output. It just looks like .... CVS! ;-)

I haven't read the code in detail (I tend to start nitpicking the details without looking at a bigger picture, once I start reading the code, so I try to only give superficial look until I know I'll have tons of time to spend on it).

But it looks like a fun project.
