Update (sorry for it being so quick):
It appears that the incremental import interpreted the situation a little
differently than I expected. When I click "Files" at the top of the web UI
(/dir?ci=tip), I only see the files that changed in the last update, not all
the files in the {SVN,git} project. When I click "Timeline," however, I see
many events dating back from months ago (which I would expect).
Does this sound normal/expected?
