Thanks for testing and reporting.

The conversion already did exactly that as far as I can see:
dmidecode$ git tag
dmidecode-1-8
dmidecode-2-0
dmidecode-2-1
dmidecode-2-10
dmidecode-2-11
dmidecode-2-12
dmidecode-2-2
dmidecode-2-3
dmidecode-2-4
dmidecode-2-5
dmidecode-2-6
dmidecode-2-7
dmidecode-2-8
dmidecode-2-9
And the tags appear in the web frontend too so my attempt to push them
there must have worked.

The conversion guide suggested tagging the cvs repository and I intend
to do so. But tagging the git repository seems like adding noise to me,
I can't see why anybody should care about the migration point.

I had noticed too and that was on my to-do list. Now this is done,
thanks for the reminder. Please pull again and "git status" should be
quiet now.

I already did that comparison and the result is positive.

I am more worried about the history being incorrect, due to incorrect
or missing options during the conversion. That being said, the history
of dmidecode is very simple (which is why I did not bother switching to
git so far) so hopefully the basic settings were good enough.
