You've got a reply meanwhile...

If your git copy doesn't include the old simulavr codebase, we should
really start with the 20050429 backup as a (safe but outdated) base,
and then add the more recent stuff on top of it.  If we're lucky, the
20050529 backup is perhaps even complete for the simulavrxx part, that
would be the easiest way then.  See my other mail.

If that doesn't work, your git backup could hopefully serve as the
source of data + history for the 200905 period that is not guaranteed
to be present on any of the backups.

That would be the easy part, because the simulavr-commit list is
archived on lists.gnu.org.

We'd have to request the git service.  Well, I think we can even just
enable it in the savannah frontend ourselves, but in order to actually
import it, a savannah support request has to be filed.  However,
before doing that, there should be consensus among all developers to
switch to git.  There's obviously no point in having two repositories
(CVS and git) in parallel.
