You can do this with git filter-branch. The idea is that you have to change the encoding of the files in every commit, rewriting each commit as you go. First, write a script that changes the encoding of every file in the repository. It could look like this: #!/bin/sh find . -type f -print | … Read more
Semantic Merge. Languages supported, from the website: We started with C# and Vb.net, then added Java. Now C is already supported and then we’ll focus on C++, Objective-C and JavaScript, depending on your feedback

Here is the process I used to migrate a SourceForge CVS repo to Git using cvs2git (latest stable release is here, but IIRC I used the github dev version), which works on both Windows and Linux without any compilation required since it’s just Python. Also, you don’t need to own the repo with this method, … Read more
