This is not entirely true, the cvs@ archive details almost all CVS
repo copies. There are also lots of forced commits to denote repo
copies. Yes, it would have to be a manual process, where you gather
(old, new, revision) tuples for the time of the repo copy (and perhaps
the branch?)
This file could then augment the conversion process and handle the CVS
files more intelligently.

I'm not volunteering and am happy with what's been done anyway. I'm
just against the "this can never ever been fixed, because the
information is totally lost" attitude.

Ciao,
