I'm not certain if it is possible, if it is I suspect it might require invoking cvsps first and then reading in the output generated with git-cvsimport, as Andreas implies. In any case, the underlying cvsps program is flawed, and in it's current form, although it seems to work ok for simple situations, I know for a fact that didn't faithfully reproduce a rather big old CVS repository I tried it on. So if you're planning on just importing once, and don't need incremental imports, from my experience I'd suggest you'd fare better using cvs2git: http://cvs2svn.tigris.org/cvs2git.html Cheers, N -- To unsubscribe from this list: 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
