I think you should give Keith Packard's parsecvs a try. It is memory-bound and won't do incremental imports but it manages to import some repos cvsimport can't do directly.
whichever importer you try, it *will* fail to create pure tags equivalent to the CVS tag. it is not possible. of course you can do trickery and create branches to simulate crooked tags.
The other option is to use cvs2svn, which is the most conservative and careful importer around, and most likely to be able to deal with your insane tags. And then git-svnimport right after ;-)
yes, cvs2svn is quite top notch regarding the brokenness in repos it tolerates. however, going from svn to git is equally complicated again, as you can't nicely convert svn's copy-to-branch if it again copies files from different revisions. you just converted the problem to svn, but you didn't make it go away. cheers simon -- Serve - BSD +++ RENT this banner advert +++ ASCII Ribbon /"\ Work - Mac +++ space for low €€€ NOW!1 +++ Campaign \ / Party Enjoy Relax | http://dragonflybsd.org Against HTML \ Dude 2c 2 the max ! http://golden-apple.biz Mail + News / \
