hi mojca, do you want to swich from cvs to git or just create a git mirror of the cvs repo? in the latter case, i’d be interested in why you don’t swich to git entirely.

When I tried to do conversion from CVS, the .cvsignore files are the
only leftovers that somehow bother me (I would really like to get rid
of .cvsignore files and put some gitignore somewhere, without my
commit being visible), but then I noticed that .cvsignore ->
.gitignore conversion is still on TODO list.
that cvs2git didn’t build it in makes me wonder what the big problem is. both use shell-style wildcards, both can be anywhere in the path and apply to that subpath, so there must be some hidden caveat…

The other thing that would make me happy would be the ability to apply
some hook to do some transformation of code before comitting to git
(let's say that I would want to reencode files into UTF-8 or that I
would want to move or rename some files before the actual commit). If
you know a simple way to do this, please let me know.
yes, there is such a thing. it is aptly named “pre-commit hook”: http://book.git-scm.com/5_git_hooks.html

but since there are many settings in git (e.g. core.autocrlf for line endings), i’d guess there are some for encoding, too. i might be mistaken, though.
