Michael,

I second this question: is there any chance incremental importing will be implemented in cvs2svn?

I've not used cvs2svn much and when I did it was for svn not git; but given that git-cvsimport is known to mess up your git repo (as Eyvind pointed out earlier) there doesn't appear to be any reliable tools to allow for incrementally importing from cvs to git.

Are others using a tool for reliably importing from cvs to git?
