Eh? Where did you get that impression? Did you test this?

Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but that seems to me to be the
information you were looking for.

Now, like I wrote earlier, IMO all current vcs's store enough information
about 'changesets' so that converting them is rather more trivial than
converting anything from RCS/CVS to a current vcs. I like Subversion myself
but it's possible that there's a better fit for the project. But like
Robert wrote, someone will have to set up a real repository etc. before
anyone can knowledgeably comment on the use for the FreeBSD project.
