Re: [cvsimport] Import CVS repository from a specified date or branch name

I have a very large and old (serveral years) cvs repository and I want to
import this in git.
For my work it is not nessecary to import all the revision history from
the cvs repository.
It is engough to import only the revisions from a specified date or branch
name of the cvs repo.

Is this possible with git-cvsimport?
If yes, how?

You may be able to do that by passing the right arguments to cvsps.
From cvsps --help:

  -d <date1> -d <date2> if just one date specified, show
     revisions newer than date1.  If two dates specified,
     show revisions between two dates.
  -b <branch> restrict output to patch sets affecting history of branch
