I'll repeat my previous point from several past discussions: please, no
conversions of the huge tree with lots of independent projects in it, the
aim should be for each project to control its own repository (including
its own choice of version control system) independently. That too many
independent projects are shoehorned into one repository is one of the
major problems with the present setup.
<http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2011-03/msg00486.html> (and subsequent
discussion in that thread) has my most recent version of what I think
separate repositories might look like - each project should lead its own
conversion as and when it wishes to move out.
