Thanks for the reminder. Yet, the difficulties I have seen, not only
with "git cvsimport" but also with pure "cvs update" is the 'cvs'
command returning "0" even though it's been dropping changes (in text
files) silently and I suspect that '-k' won't serve as a cure here.
We've experienced this effect most prominently with the Base Package,
probably due to its sheer size, but also with the SimGear and
FlightGear source trees and I'm unaware of any remedy - except from
dropping CVS in favour of a different SCM ;-)
Cheers,
Martin.
