I took a look at their webpage after reading that cvs2svn is capable
of converting .cvsignore into svn properties.

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.

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.
