iirc main was forked from it (or the opposite), so all the history
before the fork is the same. at fork time there were some renaming
(linux->osdep is one of them). creating a branch for 0_90 and following
(0_91, the others are just security fixes) would be good but sounds
like a lot of manual work.

no idea, is it the same source as the snapshots or something
older/newer? for sure it's not developed anymore

the name says it all, but there are some interesting things in it. How
did those dirs ended up in obsolete? repository tricks or they were
removed with cvs remove so they are also in attic with correct history?

So my idea is:
- do not convert dead modules, if needed provide a read-only cvs server
for them, else forget about them. convert them automatically (no need
to hand-edit them to fix conversion) if read-only cvs is too much work
to setup. as an alternative we could provide a snapshot of current
version and a tarball of cvs repository for each of them

- sadly, i'd include g2 in the dead branches

- personally i'd forget about 0_90 and convert only main
