Cool. What's the matter with the Pg repo? (Where can I get hold of that repo?)

I thought that the .git-cvs directory it created was to be able to run
incrementally (btw, I think it's fair game to create subdirs inside
.git for this kind of status-tracking). And passing -kk uncoditionally
is destructive in some cases (I know... git-cvsimport does it, and I
want to fix that). If you can ask rcs about the mode if the file and
not pass -kk for binary files...
