Could also do this, to get the history preserved (except for dates and
commit-authors):

rev=1
while test $rev -lt 27; do
  cvs update -r1.$rev libm4.m4
  cp libm4.m4 m4sugar.m4
  test $rev -eq 1 && cvs add m4sugar.m4
  cvs log -r1.$rev libm4.m4 | sed '1,/^date: / d;$ d' > commitmessage
  CVSEDITOR=cat cvs commit m4sugar.m4 < commitmessage
  rev=`expr $rev + 1`
done
rm commitmessage
