I am not looking for a full-blown 2 way gateway. But we do work quite a bit on some projects where the upstream is using CVS, and it'd be great to be able to replay our history against CVS. (And thus, when the commits are echoed back, git-cherry will do the right thing and skip them).

My current plan is to take git-apply-mbox and transform it to perform the nasty deed. But smarter people have been merging mbox-formatted patches automatically for ages, and perhaps there's a script out there that is known to work reliably.

cheers,
martin
