I'm reasonably happy with the scripted conversion with a patched
cvs-fast-export:
https://www.electrobsd.org/gitweb/?p=3Dprivoxy.git;a=3Dsummary

The conversion happened with an authormap that additionally
includes the preferred git ids for David and Ian

Thanks for the feedback so far.

After looking into it a bit, I think we only need the master branch
and thus the conversion script converts all the other branches into
tags or removes them if they are duplicates.

As it turns out, cvs2git is right about including these strange
deletions and git-cvsimport gets it wrong. They deletions are the
result of incomplete tag coverage in CVS.

cvs-fast-export uses branches for these tags, but I convert
them into tags again.

My impression is that the technical issues I brought up are
solved in the latest conversion.

I'll try to contact the missing authors via private mail in the
next days so they'll have a couple of weeks to respond before the
final conversion which hopefully will happen before the end of next
month.
