In the interim, it might make sense to convert a small project to get

Feedback could then be given to the EGit team as to how to improve

things :-)

I think one of the first steps is a read-only git repo from CVS which
tracks HEAD.  Interested committers can start playing with it and
testing out the tooling without committing ourselves to a drastic
migration...  There are now a few of us interested in this that would
make this a good start.

We've already got that, haven't we?

These are based on a one-one mapping with the CDT modules. And because of the way that CVS works, sometimes you can have incomplete CVS changesets in the Git repository.
