I used it to import some problematic historical CVS projects into git. It coped with the (probably) broken history better than cvsps did at the time, though I had to hack it to ignore some non-standard directives in the ,v files (deltatype, permissions etc).

At the time that was a one-off exercise, but the project which replaced that project has now itself been cancelled and it is just possible the original will be revived (!)

Hopefully though, the egit project would now be sufficient for us to go forward based on the converted history in git and leave CVS behind.
