That is the tool git devs currently recommend for cvs to git.

The raw repo can be grabbed from:

  rsync://cvs.sv.gnu.org/sources/freetype/

It is currently 67457380 octets in 2465 files.

A quick test suggests that the conversion should work well.

The --fallback-encoding option (or its option-file equivilent) will
be needed, and it'll take about 10 minutes on a high-end box.
