Hello,

I have a very large and old (serveral years) cvs repository and I want to import this in git. For my work it is not nessecary to import all the revision history from the cvs repository. It is engough to import only the revisions from a specified date or branch name of the cvs repo.

Is this possible with git-cvsimport? If yes, how? If no, is it possible to include such a function in the git-cvsimport script?

Thanks for any help.
