Hi Jon, If you haven't tried to import into git with a recent version of git-cvsimport, it would be worth a shot. As for the tool you've referenced above, it does look pretty good. It makes multiple passes and saves to a temp file after each, letting you resume from that point and means it can use less memory overall. It can produce a pretty straight forward looking dump file if you pass it the "--dump-only" option, rather than it pushing the results into svn; for instance: $ cvs2svn --dump-only --dumpfile DUMPFILE <cvs directory> It shouldn't be too hard to write a script that imports the revisions found in the resulting DUMPFILE into git.
