I've pushed it all to the git repository[0]. I've been testing this with Mesa, and so far it seems to keep the information back up to some /branches/modular/lib/Mesa-6.4 directory. I'm currently running all the scripts again to see how much of the history is kept or lost. I have also reenabled a line that spews out information about paths that are not matched. This is all redirected to the log file and could be helpful in determining which directories are still not being imported and need to be added. Now that it looks like we're finally able to migrate the libraries, proto, input and video drivers as well as the server, I'd like to invite everyone to check the AUTHORS file in the repository to see whether their email addresses are correct.
