It looks like git cvsimport doesn't notice when files have been deleted, so files that used to be present and were subsequently deleted are present in the git tree for the most recent commit. Is this a known problem? Is it a limitation of cvsps? I know that cvs doesn't represent deletions explicitly anywhere, so I guess it's not surprising, but it is a bit annoying. Paul.
