If we ever start doing things like sub-branches it's likely to need
more work, but I suggest that that would have been true anyway.
I don't believe that the current version shows a different set of
commits from the original (other than endpoint bugs...).

I apologize if I offended you. I hadn't believed that there was any
particular consensus on how this script ought to behave; I thought
it was something you'd whipped up in an hour based on my request for
something like cvs2cl, and that making it work more like that would be
uncontroversial.
