Thanks -- Eric I was only able to import roughly the last year of changes, so my private git repo only contains a subset of files. The others are simply copied without history. For having a useful git clone with the full history, one would still need a copy of the full CVS repo for a conversion. Using git-cvsimport over the net would take ages and hammer the server to no end. -David
