I used "fromcvs" back in the day and that produced pretty good results for the first couple of years, but it likely requires a lot of handholding and special casing. Blacklisting all repo-copied files till up to a certain date and verifying that history from cvs2mail should get us there. It would be pretty cool if some folks would collaborate on that, it would help out https://github.com/dspinellis/unix-history-repo as well. Cheers, Uli
