Subject: git cvsimport and deleted files
Message-ID: <18563.10979.379533.580413@cargo.ozlabs.ibm.com>

I just tried importing the CVS repository for a long-running project
(ppp) into git using git cvsimport.  It looks like git cvsimport
doesn't notice when files have been deleted, so files that used to be
present and were subsequently deleted are present in the git tree for
the most recent commit.

Is this a known problem?  Is it a limitation of cvsps?  I know that
cvs doesn't represent deletions explicitly anywhere, so I guess it's
not surprising, but it is a bit annoying.

Paul.
