I know I should -- but I'm hoping to find the time to rework gitweb a
bit to actually work fast instead. It bothers me that it is so slow on
a basically idle machine, and where I can perform the corresponding
git operations in the commandline in a blink.

And caching is great for really busy sites (aka kernel.org) but
git.catalyst.net.nz only serves a handful of small repos for a small
group of people, and is 99% idle. Should blaze through this stuff.

Yep, large projects often have good reasons to run custom imports,
merging certain commits, rewriting log messages (like the X.org guys
were doing). It can be done at the cvsimport stage or later -- I think
Pasky has a rewritehistory tool hidden somewhere in Cogito, but I
haven't used it.
