The idea is nice, but the downside of this patch is that I (and presumably others) have to rewrite the scripts to invoke cvsps explicitly now. The fix should really be in cvsps, not git-cvsimport (which is the reason I haven't fixed this). Running a full cvsps takes two hours and consumes more than a gigabyte of memory for me, which makes it impossible to run on all but one machine, wheras the incremental import runs in less than five minutes on any machine. Add to that the risk that the buggy nature of cvsps probably increases the risk of errors, so please make the old behaviour the default (import all, retain cvsps cache) and make the changed behaviour the result of an explicit switch. -- robin måndag 08 januari 2007 07:43 skrev Martin Langhoff: > With this patch, cvsimport will skip commits made > in the last 10 minutes.
