I have a small RCS repository which I would like to convert to git.
It has no branches, no subdirs, and only a few files.

I found one conversion utility which claimed to convert directly from
RCS to git, but it failed, and I no longer remember its name or how it
failed, other than it sounded like more than  a simple failure.

I can convert it to CVS manually simply enough.

I found git has a cvsimport command, but it complained that cvs didn't
recognize the server command, and some hints I saw of requiring cvs 2
made me pause ... all I can see is cvs 1.12.  Vague fuzzy old memories
make me think there was a cvs 2, but I see nothing in gentoo for it.
I am not  excited at git expecting a cvs server; I'll be danged if I'm
going to muck around with that just to convert a few files when git
has direct access to the ,v files themselves.

Anyone have any suggestions?  Don't feed me google pages; I am asking
for personal experience.  It would also be interesting to know what
this cvs 2 business is.  It's hard to google for that ...
