Hi,

I have a project I started in git. After a while I exported that to CVS via git cvsexportcommit which worked quite nicely. Now, a colleague made changes to the project - in CVS. What's the best way to get those back into my git repository so that I'll be able to sync back and forth between git and CVS? I had a quick look at the wiki but couldn't find anything appropriate.

I know of git cvsimport, of course, but that doesn't work on my original repository. Or does it? I didn't find anything on how to limit what to import. After all, some of the commits are already in my repository (the ones I exported).

Hope any of you can help. Thanks in advance.
  Chris
