    If you are more comfortable with Got[1] or Git, by all means use
    them.  sthen@ has already explained the limits of the conversion.

    I've mostly switched to Got for all of OpenBSD, and treat CVS as
    write-only.  From the format of the patches flying around, it's
    obvious that there are a number of committers that use Got or Git.
