Sure, but we should fix parsecvs to handle incremental CVS tracking if that's one of the goals for this utility. git-cvsimport does this by skipping commits earlier than a fixed time; if we did that, we'd eliminate the huge memory usage except for initial imports. I haven't considered how this might be done in detail yet; I have no personal need for this functionality. -- keith.packard@intel.com
