I've just copied Andreas' tree and sync'd the last few days
worth of deltas into it.  FWIW, after running git-cvsimport,
my push to the public repo took a *lot* of CPU cycles.
I didn't time it, but I think it was over 15 minutes worth,
maybe even 25 or 30.

Of course, refs have changed, so you might want to start afresh:

    git-clone --reference emacs/.git --no-hardlinks \
      git://git.sv.gnu.org/emacs emacs-new

That command creates a sibling hierarchy, emacs-new/,
assuming you have an existing emacs/.git, reusing what
bits it can, to save network bandwidth.
