Hi Eric.

I tried --fast-export. It's 2 times faster. The first thing that differs: in cvsps2 commits with adjacent timestamps were joined into one (see the attached files). Do you know the reason?

Does this --fast-export thing support what John mentioned, the "incremental import support"? Does 'git fast-import' has it? I need it, because full import takes too long. The central repo of my employer is CVS, other people commit to it and I use git internally to be able to tidy my commit history before exporting to CVS.
