Kevin, wow! Thanks for the detailed writeup, it is much appreciated. I 
vaguely remember a few minor hiccups with the move from CVS to 
Subversion which our admins at the time worked diligently to fix. This 
isn't much different from then, and now it seems there are more/better 
tools to assist with the migration if needs be. That said, Git is 
probably a little overkill for LFS, but who knows what people will want 
going forward. At least there is a way to bridge the gap for those who 
are more comfortable with git. I myself have been using git with repo 
for managing android development. I'm tracking well over 300 projects 
right now...no way I'd be able to do that manually with svn.

Having copies anywhere and everywhere is kind of the point of 
distributed version control. Taking it a step further, you have all of 
the history of that repo, even dating back to CVS, on at least two other 
boxes now. I cannot possibly fathom how that could be a bad thing. I 
will probably go through the steps myself just for the learning aspect 
of it, but yeah, keep it up.
