Unfortunately not, the content is a proprietary software package.
I'd appreciate any reports concerning "surrenders" of fromcvs. Additionally, it seems strange that tohg should have worked "better" than togit, as these are basically just different backends.
Some time passed since I did the tests. I had no time to do a detailed investigation then. I'll have more time now and will prepare a bug report, which is not easy because I can't sent you the cvs repo, sorry. Any hints what would be most helpful for you? I remember that togit reported a broken pipe. My feeling was that git-fastimport aborted, which may be reason why tohg worked better. I didn't try to understand more details. I never read ruby code before and it was already a challenge for me to get everything up and running (rcs, rbtree).
