conversion to git

[Eric Blake]

I'm hoping to convert the Autoconf repository to git (while still providing a 
CVS read-only mirror); right now, the main holdup is waiting for gnulib to 
pioneer the way in setting up git-cvsserver on Savannah: 
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2007-09/msg00088.html

In the meantime, does anyone know the name of the person behind the following 
user-ids, each of which has made commits to autoconf CVS but which left no 
ChangeLog entry and no name in the CVS log for their actions?  The various 
commits were all years ago, and touched either config.{guess,sub} or {make-
stds,standards}.texi.  Also listed is the date of the most recent commit by the 
uid in question.

[Oh, did I mention how awesome git is?  I grabbed an rsync-clone of the CVS 
repository (22 megabytes), then did git-cvsimport with an author map for the 
uid mappings that I do have (only 10 megabytes in the bare .git directory).  
Then the above list was obtained by 'git log --pretty=short | grep Author: | 
sort -u'; and the date of the most recent commit for a given $uid is as easy 
as 'git log --pretty=medium | grep -A1 $uid | head -n2'.  Try finding the same 
information quickly with CVS.]
