It can hardly be any more horrible than CVS itself ;-)

Note that git has the ability to represent more than two ancestors for a 
merged revision, which monotone does not. Not that it's an often used 
feature, but IIRC cvs2git is one of its users. (I vaguely remember 
discussing these issues with Michael Haggerty, author of cvs2svn. See 
that project's mailing list).
