The above is all done, and I have documentation on how to do it which will eventually go into openssh's debian/README.source. I'll push the resulting branches somewhere when I get a moment. This involved a few modifications to cscvs, which I've pushed here for safekeeping: https://code.launchpad.net/~cjwatson/launchpad-cscvs/openssh-branch-imports > * Use cvs2svn's git mode to produce a dump of my CVS repository, and > run it through bzr fast-import (since the formats are compatible) to > add the Debian history to the revision graph at the points noted > above.
