how do we proceed about migrating our cvs "moves"?
1) just import the shit from cvs literally. this is simple, but creates
"ghost files" in old checkouts; most of them don't even compile for this
reason.
2) clean out "moved" stuff. same with that variant: we lose the ability
to make coherent checkouts of old versions. it's pretty much work to
find all "moved" stuff. on the bright side, the repo is waaaay smaller
than with 1).
3) make cvs2svn find and import "moves". implementing this is cvs2svn
issue #1. i think if somebody (let's call him coolo ;) motivated and
fluent in python created a patch, the entire cvs2svn community (which is
unfortunately very volatile by nature) would welcome it very much. given
the number of "moves" in our repo this is definitely worth consideration.
