Btw, trying this import (which got interrupted by a thunderstorm and one of our first power failures in a long time - just a few seconds, but enough to power off everything but my laptops) it became very obvious that "git cvsimport" really _really_ should re-pack the archive every once in a while. The old "repack every month or so" approach doesn't work that well when you try to import several years of history in a few hours. Now, you can just repack after the whole thing is done (it will probably take no more than ~15 minutes or so), but it would probably be best if the import script itself decided to repack every once in a while just to avoid wasting a lot of diskspace _during_ the import itself. So this isn't so much a correctness issue as a "avoid wasting time and space" issue, but still..
