Re: Switching heads and head vs branch after CVS import

In message [ref] you wrote:
One thing that "git cvsimport" does not know to do is to show when a
branch was merged back into the HEAD. That would be a very interesting
thing to see, but I don't think there's any way to get that information
out of CVS (so you'd have to basically make an educated guess by looking
at the changes).

So in a cvsimport, you'll never see a merge back to the head, even if one 
technically took place. 
I asked this question before without receiving any reply:

Assume I know exactly where the merge back happenend - is  there  any
way to tell git about it, so I don't see all these dangling heads any
more?


Best regards,
