FWIW, https://github.com/jrmuizel/gecko-cinnabar doesn't have the CVS history so is no better than https://github.com/mozilla/gecko. Having a canonical repo that includes the CVS history will make the SHA's incompatible with doing a direct conversion of hg which is a disadvantage. I'm not sure what's more valuable.
