Yes, if the foreign source is structured in a way to make it easy.
Take a look at the --cat-blob-fd option, the "ls" and "cat-blob"
commands, and see svn-fe from contrib/svn-fe/ as an example.

Hope that helps,
Jonathan

Yes, see the --import-marks and --export-marks options. The stream has
to refer to the marks that were used int the previous run.

Cheers.

Does git fast-import support deltas?

2013-04-18 Thread Ilya Basin 
Hi list.
Here's what I mean:
1) a created a git repo from a foreign source using git fast-import
2) new commits were added to the foreign source

Can I create a fast-import input stream not containing the commits
already existing in my git repo and import it?

I tried to create such streams with:
cvsps --fast-export -d ...
and from a shallow git repo, but the new commits are not imported
(unless the import stream contains a new branch)
