Great initiative!

Note that we're planning on redoing the cvs to git export, since there are 
several bugs in the current, and the cvs revision info is lost in it.

I'm actually right now working on a new tool that can handle most of 
Pike's excentricities and doesn't cheat with tags (eg it's capable of 
identifying code that originally was in a separate repository which was 
merged later). It's not quite useable yet, but it's getting there.
