Errr... the need to interact with *live* CVS repository is reason behind wanting incremental import, isn't it? I wonder how hard would be to create a remote helper for CVS, so that one could treat CVS repository as foreign remote, fetching from it and pushing to it... BTW. can you convince your employer to move to more modern version control system (be it Subversion, Kiln Harmony, Veracity, Bazaar, Mercurial or Git) rather than rely on system which had last release in 2008 i.e. 4 years ago, doesn't support atomic commits, doesn't support versioning of whole repository aka. changesets (beside tags), has slow and complicated branching and even more complicated merging, etc.? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/802573/difference-between-git-and-cvs/824241#824241 -- Jakub Narębski -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
