A few of those are CVS artifacts that can be removed entirely.

But yes, I've done this sort of thing (filling in blank comments)
in the past.  In this case it should be oretty easy - use gitk to locate
the bad comment, look at the associated ChangeLog entry.

Everybody, feel free to send me proposed fill-ins; I'll add those
transformations to the conversion script.  It's easily done in
reposurgeon.
