FWIW, I didn't think Bob was proposing moving to github --- just
transferring the code into a git repo on the same server.  But in any
case the bugzilla database could (and should) stay as it is.

The main advantage of this would be just what he says, that every
checkout would contain a full copy of the repo and thus there'd be very
little chance of losing the code history.

I have some experience with preserving commit history in a CVS to git
conversion: the Postgres project did that about two years ago.  It's
possible to get a pretty exact conversion but you have to be willing
to sweat a little, or at least we had to given the state of the cvs2git
tool at the time.  (I think they improved it some based on our
feedback.)  Various manual hacking that had been done on our CVS repo
in the dim past didn't help any either ...
