hmm... That's really strange! I started from the same rsync checkout. My 
first step was the rsync, which I really just copied verbatim

This import did not go well then, look at the cvs2svn statistics for my 
conversion:

a directory gap-cvs, which contains "gap". I used this directory for 
cvs2svn.

Perhaps this is caused by the spurious commit of those two classes, so 
that we had besides "gap" two files in the root? I don't need them, but 
how can I fix this?

Do you think I gan rsync

|rsync -av rsync://cvs.sv.gnu.org/sources/gap/gap/|

Or does this cause havoc? due to Attic and other cvs details i don't know?

Or can I run cvs2svn on gap/gap, essentially, the content?
