Yeah, i'm really not familiar with conversions or monkeying with CVS under the hood either, only been on the losing end of it :). referring back to the issue i had: http://sourceware.org/ml/archer/2009-q1/msg00332.html it looks like i remembered incorrectly, and according to Jim's 'For the record,' portion it is possible to do in a cvs/git friendly way. sorry should have looked back in my emails for this earlier.
