It should but I can't get it too work, the ldbd.py,v file is OK from
2003/05/06 07:39:52, so after consulting the man pages for both
git-cvsimport and cvsps I ran the following

$ git cvsimport -v  -p "-d" -p "2003/05/06 07:40:00"
-d:local:/Users/ram/test_cvs -C glue.git glue

yet git/cvsps still tries to retrieve the bad revisions, prior to the
above date. I'm clearly missing something?

Cheers
