CVS does not record when a branch was created or by whom. If a git
commit has to be created for such events, cvs2git attributes them to a
configurable username, which Max has set to be "pgsql". It chooses the
latest possible timestamp that is consistent with other (timestamped)
changesets that depend on it.
Does cvs2cl do something better? If so, how?
