        More precisely, what I have are imports cvs history to GIT from the old   
   CVS repository at Sourceforge and separately from Michiels' CVS repository.    
   Haven't had a chance to try doing an import mirror of his mecurial   
   repository...   
      
        One issue is that because they came from different repositories, the   
   commit IDs are different even for the same tags.  There are also differences   
   in what commits are actually present even at the similar points in time, like   
   late April of 2004 (which is where the one from SF ends...).  Presumably   
   because of the CVS issues that brought Michiel to move to using a CVS   
   repository to his own system.   Might could merge the two versions, but it   
   might be more trouble   
   than it's worth...   (Might make an text archive, via fast-export, of at least   
   the SF one, though...)   
      
        The one imported from Michiels CVS repo has entries up through 28 Dec 08.    
   Latest Tag in it is for "Stable release 0.92.0", on 16 Oct 07.  Been thinking   
   of getting that imported into my mbsedeb repository, with a branch name of   
   something like mbcvs/MAIN or something like that...   
      
        That would give the mbse history considerably more depth, but still leaves   
   the later information in his mercurial repository.  Looked at how to do   
   imports/mirrors of that, but haven't gotten to the point of any testing of   
   doing it...
