Ok. I will see about pulling the history before 2007 off of sourceforge
if I can.

The advice you gave me worked. I used a fresh directory and pulled cvs
into it. I then copied all with cp -r into my git directory and then
committed and pushed it up.  I don't know if you can make them the same
directory. Did not work for me. There is some warning about using the
cvs import directory for work anyway. 

I am ready to switch over. I am not sure if Richard has had time to use
it much. I read that people can do cvs commits to git repositories. I am
not sure but I think savannah's cvs server emulation only supports
pserver though. Pserver is anonymous readonly isn't it? I may be wrong.
If it support ext that would be an easy transition. 

Thanks,
