A dirty little trick would be to edit $(git \n--exec-path)git-cvsimport and put in your desired changes.\n\nA less ugly solution would be to patch git-cvsimport.perl to add an option \n--into-existing-repository that does not complain when the Git repository \nis already initialized, unless the 'origin' branch exists, too.\n\nHth,\nDscho\n"}]}
