That should be in the form: document in detail how the migration worked, 
so that if the newlib community chooses to move to git, it has the benefit 
of documentation of the process when replicating it to move to its own git 
repository.

Rather, I say the repository should be exactly 6(b) from 
<http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2011-03/msg00486.html> (subject to confirming 
the exact set of directories with only Attic contents in CVS whose history 
gets converted).  (c), (d), (e), (f), (g) and each of the three parts of 
(h) should, if someone in their respective communities wishes to convert 
them away from CVS, be converted independently to separate repositories 
(based on shared toplevel code only when it's actually used); (a) may be 
convenient to avoid shared files diverging, but is not required.

(I do not definitively assert whether (c) newlib and (d) winsup should be 
separate or a single repository; that's for the relevant communities to 
work out.  I am confident that all the other divisions make sense.)
