I was thinking about how the following part of git-fast-export `--import-marks=<file>` Any commits that have already been marked will not be exported again. If the backend uses a similar --import-marks file, this allows for incremental bidirectional exporting of the repository by keeping the marks the same across runs. How cvs-fast-export know where to start exporting from in incremental mode? BTW. does cvs-fast-export support incremental *output*, or does it perform also incremental *work*? Anyway, that might mean that generic fast-import stream based incremental (i.e. supporting proper thin fetch) remote helper is out of question, perhaps writing one for cvs / cvs-fe would bring incremental import from CVS to git? -- Jakub Narebski -- 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
