/me opens bigs ears and eyes: does this mean that we have an
incremental importer of CVS based on git-fast-import ? I mean I'm really
interested into that, as git-cvsimport is really broken with the glibc
CVS tree, and as the glibc CVSROOT is rsync-able, an incremental
importer that has access to the CVSROOT RCS files is probably the most
efficient way.
Is there any link you can provide to me about these new features of
cvs2svn ?
