Description: Tool for editing version-control repository history
 `reposurgeon` enables risky operations that version-control systems
 don't want to let you do, such as (a) editing past comments and metadata,
 (b) excising commits, (c) coalescing commits, and (d) removing files and
 subtrees from repo history. The original motivation for `reposurgeon`
 was to clean up artifacts created by repository conversions.
 .
 `reposurgeon` is also useful for scripting very high-quality conversions
 from Subversion.  It is better than `git-svn` at tag lifting,
 automatically cleaning up `cvs2svn` conversion artifacts, dealing with
 nonstandard repository layouts, recognizing branch merges, handling
 mixed-branch commits, and generally at coping with Subversion's many
 odd corner cases.  Normally Subversion repos should be analyzed at a
 rate of upwards of ten thousand commits per minute.
 .
 `repodiffer` is a program that reports differences between repository
 histories. It uses a `diff(1)`-like algorithm to identify spans of
 identical revisions, and to pick out revisions that have been
 changed or deleted or inserted. It may be useful for comparing the
 output of different repository-conversion tools in detail.
 .
 Another auxiliary program, `repotool`, performs various useful
 operations such as checkouts and tag listing in a VCS-independent
 manner.  Yet another, `repomapper`, assists in automatically preparing
 contributor maps of CVS and SVN repositories.
 .
 The `repocutter` program is available for some specialized operations on
 Subversion dumpfiles; it may be useful in extracting portions of
 particularly gnarly Subversion repositories for conversion witth
 reposurgeon.
 .
 This distribution supports a generic conversion workflow using these
 tools, and includes the DVCS Migration Guide that describes how to use it.
