Sure, tho I think the cvs-to-git syncing tool is by far the most developed; I think it was actually David (Reiter) who asked on the git list about bzr-to-git syncing tools, and IIRC, the replies didn't seem so encouraging. [Another problem is that even if another syncing tool is available, I'm not sure what changing to another source-VCS/tool means for the existing history in git...] -Miles -- Virtues, n. pl.
