- update to version 2.4.0
- adopt new Makefile header
- take maintainer

Some highlights:

* cvs2git conversions are cleaned up in a number of smallish ways.

* Much faster cvs2git conversions via new option
  --use-external-blob-generator.

* Optionally include empty directories from the CVS repository in
  the Subversion output.

* More flexible keyword and EOL handling.

* More aggressively omit unnecessary dead revisions.

* Make check of illegal filename characters dependent on the target VCS.

* Allow grafting a branch onto a parent that has itself been grafted.

* Only require a DB module if the "internal co" functionality is used.
  (This dependency has been a source of much grief to people on systems
  without decent package managers.)

* Sort using a Python implementation rather than an external sort
  command, to remove the dependency on POSIX-like sort.  (This
  dependency has been the source of much grief to Windows users.)
