[llvm-dev] Git Transition status?

[Daniel Berlin via llvm-dev]

Something like that.
FWIW: This is not surprising.

When i moved GCC from CVS to SVN, the older versions of CVS had bugs that
the SVN importer couldn't handle, and i essentially had to rewrite
subversion's cvs2svn to make it work (plus, it was originally so slow it
would have taken 2 real-time months to do the import).

On the plus side, once we fixed all the bugs, we also were able to get  RCS
history into the SVN history :)
