I think I have it worked out now.
1) I checked in everything that is checked out, obviously.
2) I created a directory /tmp/work to create a mirror of the structure of old 
archives in ~.
3) ~/cv contained some RCS *,v files.  I copied them to /tmp/work/cv.
4) ~/Cforall/RCS contained many *,v archives of files in ~/Cforall.  I copied 
the *,v files to /tmp/work/Cforall.
5) ~/EITC/cvsroot contained a CVS repository.  I copied its modules into the 
mirror in spots where I used to have CVS sandboxes; for instance, I copied 
~/EITC/cvsroot/engineering to /tmp/work/EITC/engineering.  Importing the CVS 
repository into its own branch would have been a reasonable thing to do, 
too...
6) I imported the mirror with "cd /tmp; monotone --db=... --branch=... 
cvs_import work"
7) I checked out the files with "monotone --db=... --branch=... 
co /tmp/gjditchf; cp -pir /tmp/gjditchf/* ~/".  It seems a bit iffy to copy 
the MT directory around like that, but monotone wouldn't check out to an 
existing directory.
