I'm rsyncing the ,v file and then using parsecvs with some fixes from
David and me.

Not sure if they went upstream - I mailed the original author but didn't
track that.

There is one issue with these trees though: I always rebuild the whole
tree and for some reason the revision SHA-1s don't match so when pulling
every now and then changes from the master gives you a new branch
starting somewhere in the past looking mostly the same (with the latest
stuff added) I think that's somehow related to the phar fix (didn't see
that before) but didn't investigate - but that won't matter if we go the
git-route as in the end we'd do one conversion and set cvs to read-only
and don't update from cvs.... (and for my current main use it doesn't
matter that much - I'm mostly using it or browsing patch sets when
reviewing commits ... that works way better than with commit mails or
cvsps-based tools)
