Yeah, we've got

	git-cvsimport
	cvsps
	cvs rlog
	,v files

cvs rlog is designed to 'represent' the history of the repository to
users. Cvsps was built as a software analysis tool, and is used by
putative software engineering researchers. Basing a supposedly lossless
repository conversion system on this pair seems foolish to me,
notwithstanding the heroic efforts to make it work.
