Perfect history is not a requirement.  Largely because of the massive
rewrite in the 8.0 timeframe there's not much utility in looking back much
further.  Still, imperfect history better have a good explanation for its
existence.  The server project had several suspect commits that they
reconciled with their saved source trees rather than discarding.  I don't
think the JDBC driver has nearly as many suspect commits, but I don't see
why it would be hard to accurately import our history.

My only caveat is for those who think git-cvsimport is adequate:
