Anyone working on a CVS->git converter?  I'd like to move klibc 
development into git.

Not directly, but you might get your wish Real Soon Now.

I'm currently putting the finishing touches on commit support for
darcs-git.  Once that's finished, you should be able to run tailor
(the CVS to Darcs converter) over a Git repository.

So hold on for a few days, and drop me a mail if you don't hear from
me.

I tried it with two completely stupid scripts and the nice cvsps.

Here is the tree to browse:
  http://ehlo.org/~kay/git/gitweb.cgi?p=klibc.git;a=log


In the CVS repo directory export patchsets as individual patches with a
header containing metadata:
  cvsps -x -b HEAD -g -p ../../patches/

split exported patches into individial files like author data, log, file list:
  for i in `seq 1 546`; do ../parse-cvsps-patch.pl ../patches/$i.patch ;done

apply it to an completely empty git-repo:
  for i in `seq 1 546`; do ../apply.sh ../patches/$i.patch ;done

Stupid scripts are attached. cvsps is here:
