However, the cvs repository has been tagged in a very bad style which makes git-cvsimport or cvsps not work well. cvs2git sounds to be the right tool i should try. Unfortualely, i can't touch the cvs repository directly. So is it possible to use cvs2git in the remote host instead of the host of the cvs repository just as git-cvsimport does? Yes, i know it can't now. I just wonder whether it is possible to implement. I choose to reply to this thread instead of opening a new one because i think this reply of Michael has told much shortcommings of git-cvsimport or cvsps but had got no replies yet. -- Ping Yin
