Well, I guess there are two sub-parts to my question then. First, and
most important for the immediate issue, have you done anything to verify
the commit-message data matches between the cvs and git repositories?
Second, does git offer a way to collate matching log entries across
multiple branches? The main advantage of cvs2cl has always been that it
would do that, so that you didn't have to look at five independent log
entries after a commit that fixed the same bug in five branches...
