As much as I would like to push the git repos to github today, I think it is worth waiting. When SF CVS comes back up, I can attempt to convert the CVS repository to SVN, verify that the data has been preserved, and convert r1:540 to git. Then I can convert the master svn repo starting at r541, and graft the result onto the older history. When the resulting repo is postprocessed to clean it up and reduce the size, the graft would be made permanent (is actually incorporated into the history, as opposed to being a reference in .git/info/grafts).
