And so people can continue to run "cvs diff" on existing modified CVS 
trees.  I.e. the changes which affect revision numbers will be made on a 
separate copy of the repository which is only used to be fed into the 
conversion; the copy available through cvsweb and existing CVS trees keeps 
its present structure with separate old-gcc.
