Ah... what went wrong has to do with the way I'm doing the mirroring
using "git push -f --mirror" (see
http://wiki.github.com/wanderlust/wanderlust/), which essentially
throws away any branches that weren't in the source repo.  It may be
that we really don't want to be doing anything other than mirroring
CVS with that repo; until we figure out what we *do* want, I've put it
at http://github.com/dabrahams/wanderlust/commits/docfix

Sorry for the inconvenience.
