So now we have the git repository.  All hail the git repository.  Thanks,
Jim!  But we have a couple of lingering issues from the CVS conversion.

There was no cvs/<branch> 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
