cvs2svn (and hence cvs2git certainly has *oodles* of code explicitly to
try and deal with "weird" (non-linear) cvs histories (a la type of the
PG repo)... I'm not sure I would take the reference to "the old cvs2git
tool" to be the cvs2git that's currently active and based on cvs2svn...
If anybody can confirm that the incremental git cvsimport can follow a
recent cvs2git conversion, that would definitely be awesome! If I can
come across a few free hours some time, I might even try it myself!
