Hi Jon,

If you haven't tried to import into git with a recent version of
git-cvsimport, it would be worth a shot.

As for the tool you've referenced above, it does look pretty good.
It makes multiple passes and saves to a temp file after each, letting
you resume from that point and means it can use less memory overall.

It can produce a pretty straight forward looking dump file if you
pass it the "--dump-only" option, rather than it pushing the results
into svn; for instance:

 $ cvs2svn --dump-only --dumpfile DUMPFILE <cvs directory>

It shouldn't be too hard to write a script that imports the revisions
found in the resulting DUMPFILE into git.
