I try it by myself, and I see some warnings, but I could still have a
functional git repo using git-cvsimport.

So, I published in github[1] :-) as "A git clone of the great Claws
Mail MUA from the original CVS, it's _not intended_ to be a fork, just
to open a new way to make development around it."

I'm using gtk2 as the default branch in github, but I also pushed all
other branches I found in cvs to honor the history :-)

I plan to start syncing it once a week, but I could change that to make
it more often if there's people interested.

The exactly way I followed was:
# WARNING: __do not__ execute it, it took me almost 3 days :-p
# ( hoping I was not abusing claws-mail.org bandwidth :-( )
export CVS_RSH=ssh
git-cvsimport -a -p x,Z3 -v -d :pserver:anonymous at claws-mail.org:/ claws

BTW if you're thinking in using this repo to help development, I
suggest to not use git-cvsimport, because it's a large repo.

So instead I think it would be better to manage it by sending patches
to bugzilla.

So if you want to start using the repo just clone it:
git clone git://github.com/marvil07/claws-mail.git
