I suggest after git-cvsimport successfully imports from CVS, it creates cvsup alias with given arguments. Later if I want to update from CVS, I only need to "git cvsup" instead of typing the the same command with full of arguments again. -- ``` ## Johannes Schindelin, 2006-12-12 22:05 Subject: Re: git-cvsimport feature request Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/Pine.LNX.4.63.0612122305060.2807%40wbgn013.biozentrum.uni-wuerzburg.de In-Reply-To: ``` Hi, [readding list...] On Wed, 13 Dec 2006, Nguyen Thai Ngoc Duy wrote: > Hi, > > On 12/12/06, Johannes Schindelin wrote: > > It could be done easily, but it is almost as easy to edit the command line > > to substitute "git " with "git repo-config alias.cvsup '" (note the > > single apostrophe at the end) and append and apostrophe at the end of the > > line. > > Thanks.
