There are also lots of forced commits to denote repo copies. Yes, it would have to be a manual process, where you gather (old, new, revision) tuples for the time of the repo copy (and perhaps the branch?) This file could then augment the conversion process and handle the CVS files more intelligently. I'm not volunteering and am happy with what's been done anyway. I'm just against the "this can never ever been fixed, because the information is totally lost" attitude. Ciao, Uli
