Do you have a recent version of "cvsps"? The wrong ordering happened quite often with old cvsps versions. So make sure you absolutely have 2.1. Also, David Mansfield may not be maintaining it horribly actively, but that's probably because it's purely a "minimal maintenance" project for him by now. He reacted in a very timely manner when we pointed out specific bugs, so if you can pinpoint the exact thing cvsps does wrong, I bet David will be more than happy to apply patches or perhaps even fix it himself and make a new version. So while it's fine to work around cvsps problems inside "git cvsimport", it's even better if you could try to see if you can figure out why they happen in the first place. The source code wasn't all that unreadable from what I can remember. Linus
