ChangeLog != commit logs.

There is frequently additional information in the CVS commit messages
that isn't in the ChangeLogs. ChangeLogs aren't always updated reliably
either, esp for ebuild cleanups (hi vapier).

The actual performance of git itself isn't the largest problem.
The migration issues, esp. the speed of the conversion are.

My status of the migration side itself hasn't changed since the end of
October:
http://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-scm/msg_e0a0a41200c1fc6a0fda68b4ff9d2c61.xml

That top item is the largest blocker. The actual conversion time is down
to 9 hours, but with more than that again in setting it up. I'd like to
get the conversion time down to UNDER 4 hours. It's mostly
single-threaded, and we've got lots of cores available, it just needs
parallelization. We're basically dead in the water during the
conversion, there is NO incremental support at all.

Side-project to the above: Is there anything link Psyco for Python
acceleration that works on 64-bit machines? Psyco itself has a warning
on the frontpage of no 64-bit support.

pre-upload-hook: ford_prefect, can I have something by Jan 21st please?
Even just the core C infrastructure for the hook.

For the partial tree users, the support is actually IN 1.6.6 series. It
needs a little more cooking I think however, there are some patches
queued for it, that will probably end up in 1.6.6.1 or similar.

We DO still need somebody that cares about CVS access to test with
git-cvssserver against the existing conversion.
