You must be using the beta version of cvsps, cvsps-2.2b1 ,---- From the CHANGELOG: | | 2.2b1 | - add a new line item in the PatchSet output which indicates which | branches fork off from after this PatchSet. This is actually | the only way to correctly indicate the branching. The 'Ancestor | Branch' thing is actually broken by design, and is now deprecated. `---- git-cvsimport uses the -A ancestor mechanism (after patching cvsps-2.1 for some corner cases), this ignores the Branches line. I'd be interested in knowing the git-cvsimport authors' opinion on reworking it to use the Branches mechanism. -- Madhu
