Rob,

Nice!  I don't generally need MPICH history that often these days, but still a win in the ongoing struggle to extirpate CVS, not to mention making the CVS history available to folks without MCS accounts.

If you want to be really slick, you could try grafting in this old history with git-replace in a local repo and then publishing those graft instructions: https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-replace.html
