Michael,

If I run cvs2git several times against a live cvs repo (using the same configuration), wouldn't it perform an incremental import? Is there anything that would make it produce different commits for the history?

I've just made a simple test here performing 2 imports (the 2nd with a dozen of new commits not in the 1st) and it seemed to work fine.
I know that it will take the same time/memory as the first import, but is there something that can break the repository or produce wrong data?
Thanks,
 - Samuel
