You mean: It does not build correctly with a current version of git?
Since it links with the git source code it probably needs a version of
gits source code around the time of the last commits.

Maybe you could add that information to the parsecvs compile
instructions? I think just because it takes some effort to compile does
not justify to remove this useful pointer here. When I was converting a
legacy cvs repository this pointer would have helped me a lot.

It is the tool we were/are actively using to convert old repositories at
$dayjob.

Cheers Heiko
