There are many CVS -> git tools: git-cvsimport (uses cvsps), parsecvs (accesses ,v files directly), fromcvs (in Ruby), cvs2svn development branch. But I think only git-cvsimport allows incremental import. Another solution would be to set Git repository as a fake CVS repository using git-cvsserver (now with beginning of authenticated pserver access!). --=20 Jakub Narebski Poland ShadeHawk on #git
