Hi Ralf,

I gave up on git-cvsimport a while ago, since it was so slow
compared to parsecvs, but mainly because it would actually *reverse*
revisions some time.  E.g., it would sometimes put CVS version 1.2
before 1.1.

At least that one was a cvsps problem.

I'll try to find time to test cvs2git RSN.
