It can, or it can recently thanks to --export-marks / --import-marks work? It is nice that SCM-to-SCM converters seems to standarize on using fast-import language as intermediary. IIRC fast-import by Shawn O. Pearce started as fast backend for first cvs2git (unfortunately fork and not extension of cvs2svn) by Jon Smirl (?) around time when Mozilla looked for SCM to move to from CVS. (In the end they choose Mercurial, mainly because of better Windows support, and I think also better Windows GUI; I wonder how it works for them now?). -- Jakub Narebski Poland ShadeHawk on #git -- 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
