I am still working with the developers of the cvs2svn import tool to fix things so that Mozilla CVS can be correctly imported. There are still outstanding bugs in cvs2svn preventing a correct import. MozCVS can be imported, but the resulting repository is not entirely correct. Once they get the base cvs2svn fixed I'll port my patches to turn it into cvs2git again.So what exactly is the cvs2git status now? AFAIU, there's a tool that parses the CVS repository and that is then "piped" to git-fastimport? git-fastimport is available somewhere (perhaps it would be interesting to publish it at repo.or.cz or something), is the current cvs2git version available as well?cvs2git is a set of patches that get applied to cvs2svn. The patches modify cvs2svn to output things in a format that git-fastimport can consume.
By the way, isn't what you want an incremental importer, because of the 1.9 branch? According to its homepage, cvs2svn is not designed for incremental importing. Or are you fixing that as well? -- Petr "Pasky" Baudis Stuff: http://pasky.or.cz/ #!/bin/perl -sp0777i<X+d*lMLa^*lN%0]dsXx++lMlN/dsM0<j]dsj $/=unpack('H*',$_);$_=`echo 16dio\U$k"SK$/SM$n\EsN0p[lN*1 lK[d2%Sa2/d0$^Ixp"|dc`;s/\W//g;$_=pack('H*',/((..)*)$/)
