All hail the git repository. Thanks, Jim! But we have a couple of lingering issues from the CVS conversion. There was no cvs/ head that corresponded to the last CVS commit. I made one by hand, called cvs/master. The head master-UNNAMED-BRANCH existed for some reason, not under cvs/. It was 7ce88cbdc45a8fb68c5cd1b69d95dee9b11913ee. I removed it. Is this some abandoned wrong-converted history? Its log entry matches that for d585b66fa4d11059948f466c9080a6826932358d. 'git describe' can find nothing for either of these commits, which is odd. d585b66fa4d11059948f466c9080a6826932358d is in the history of cvs/fedora-2_3-branch. We have no git tags at all. What happened to our cvs/* migrated tags? That is a bunch of lost information, including the exact points in history of various past releases, Fedora builds, etc. What gives? Thanks, Roland
