However, this conversion loses quite a lot of history, including all nettle-1.15 releases. To actually build old versions, one would need to use the lsh repo (due to the shared files linked by lsh's ./.bootstrap), but it would be nice to still have the history in the nettle repo.
Now I have a new test repo. Not created using git filter-branch on the lsh git repository, but converted from the same old cvs files, using pcvs2git and a new configuration file written primarily by Henrik Grubbström.
The conversion moves files from nettle, src/nettle and src/symmetric (whichever is found first) to the top level. Also tries to keep the shared files, also putting them at top-level in the new repo (getopt*, config.guess, misc/run-tests, and a few more). Some symlinking still needs to be added to the .bootstrap script before one can build.
