    Hmm.  Ok, we'll see if it gets cleaned up when my revised script
    finishes running.  Basically I am running fromcvs/togit but then
    doing a separate pass on the branches we care about (master, 2010Q*)
    which physically compares the cvs checked out files against the git
    checked out files and does a rollup commit to the git repo to fix
    anything that was missed.

    It would go faster but syncing the NetBSD CVS repo takes forever...
    the cvsup has been running for 5 hours now and still isn't done.
    I will switch to csup once this run is finished to see if csup
    goes any faster.

    This still won't be perfect, since the $ expansions in the CVS repo
    for any given revision contain the previous revision/info and not the
    current revision/info.  Thus the $ expansions will always be wrong in
    the git repo.  I can't commit the correct $ expansions to the git repo
    because that will blow up fromcvs/togit (its attempt to merge new
    revs will fail).... all because CVS edits $ expansions on checkout
    instead of on commit.
