Yes: Two worked with git, one with svn, one with hg (IIRC).

Unfortunately, this is not easily possible. For one, I think
some/most/all of them stopped updating the individual branches, once
they imported to CVS. So you would have to take the original commits
from the individual repositories, and then apply the CVS commits on top
of them.

I've never committed anything to the main CVS repository :-( I keep
committing to my git repository on github... I'd rather say it's bad
in general, but it might be good in the context of moving to git...
