cvsps keeps it's incremental status in ~/.cvps/*. parsecvs might want to keep it's status in the .git repository and use tags to locate it. You could even have a utility to show when and what was imported. By keeping everything in git it doesn't matter who runs the incremental update commands.
Jon, what cvsps keeps is a cache of what it knows about the repo history, to ask only for new commits. Now, cvsps will always write to STDOUT the full history, and git-cvsimport discards the commits it has already seen, based on reading the state of each git head. So cvsps + git-cvsimport don't keep any extra data around, and I am 100% certain that parsecvs don't need that either. cheers, martin - : send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
