You will have to ask Jim. I presume the initial commit was a long process, one file at a time, and it was done according to some more-or-less arbitrary order. Don't forget that Emacs was maintained for several years before the initial commit, so all the files were already there. > The question is how reliable is the conversion?

The result is consistent with what the CVS repository shows, so I don't understand why you have any doubts.
