CVS: branch support #24937

Open LawnGnome opened 3 years ago

LawnGnome commented 3 years ago

This is split from #23757.

We need to be able to select branches of interest in CVS and replicate them to Git as best we can. We may need to use a similar approach to the tag algorithm in #24935 to fake commits at times, but we should also try not to where the CVS branches represent coherent whole-repo states that can be directly translated to Git's branching model.
