• update to version 2.4.0
• adopt new Makefile header
• take maintainer

Some highlights:

• cvs2git conversions are cleaned up in a number of smallish ways.

• Much faster cvs2git conversions via new option --use-external-blob-generator.

• Optionally include empty directories from the CVS repository in the Subversion output.

• More flexible keyword and EOL handling.

• More aggressively omit unnecessary dead revisions.

• Make check of illegal filename characters dependent on the target VCS.

• Allow grafting a branch onto a parent that has itself been grafted.

• Only require a DB module if the "internal co" functionality is used. (This dependency has been a source of much grief to people on systems without decent package managers.)

• Sort using a Python implementation rather than an external sort command, to remove the dependency on POSIX-like sort. (This dependency has been the source of much grief to Windows users.)
