Maybe a smaller project to CVS 4.3BSD-tahoe to Quasijarus first.
One of the big problems is that they move files all over the place as BSD
developed and CVS doen't work too elegantly with those kind of changes.
Bitkeeper handles this well. I suspect that Larry McVoy would
at least be mildly interested in giving advice for such
a project. Bitkeeper is SCCS-based.
Bitkeeper also has a superior web interface. You can't beat
standard unified diff format with a tiny bit of color added.
