PVCS (or RCS) importer for Git?

Hi!

Has anyone written an importer to import sources stored in PVCS into Git? Or perhaps an RCS importer that actually uses the RCS binaries (ci, co, rlog) instead of parsing the ,v files directly?

I am looking at exporting some PVCS sources into Git, but my attempts so far hasn't got very far, and I was thinking that maybe someone else had done something similar?

One problem with PVCS is that it, like RCS, has file-local revision numbering, and that it does not have named branches, the branches are on the same file-local revisions, so there is no way of telling what a branch is supposed to point to, except by looking at tags set to what the branch created.

RCS is quite similar (PVCS seems to be designed to be a RCS clone), so perhaps the problem has already been solved?

I have had some limited success by running a the pvcs2rcs.pl script from CVS's sources and converting that to Git using cvs2svn, but I believe the result could be better if I converted directly.
