Thanks for making cvs2svn the best CVS-to-git conversion tool :)  Now
if it would only support incremental importing...

Michael,

I second this question: is there any chance incremental importing will
be implemented in cvs2svn?

I've not used cvs2svn much and when I did it was for svn not git; but
given that git-cvsimport is known to mess up your git repo (as Eyvind
pointed out earlier) there doesn't appear to be any reliable tools to
allow for incrementally importing from cvs to git.

Are others using a tool for reliably importing from cvs to git?

After reading the fairly recent "cvs2svn conversion directly to git
ready for experimentation" thread it is clear that its doable but
hasn't been done (seeing as you were looking for volunteers to do it).

Sorry for the noise,
Mike
