Nope, sure won't be :-). Still needs work to be robust and clean and
production-ready.
It will also always be orders of magnitude slower than the existing
cvs import capability... just parsing the files really is superior in
some ways. Is it a huge burden to download the repository? (Dunno if
this applies here, but SF for instance makes this really trivial:
http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=768&group_id=1#nightlytarballs
.)
