I'm tracking gtk-gnutella via git. I only periodically grab a new tarball of CVS -- but git cvsimport is happy to talk to live CVS server. It means I get revision control/branching and merging support for the small set of patches I maintain against gtk-gnutella for the Debian tree. Below is my script. Cheers, Anand $ cat update-gtk-gnutella.sh #!/bin/sh DATE=`date +%Y%m%d` PROJECT=gtk-gnutella wget http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cvstarballs/$PROJECT-cvsroot.tar.bz2 -O $PROJECT-$DATE-cvsroot.tar.bz2 rm -rf $PROJECT tar jxf $PROJECT-$DATE-cvsroot.tar.bz2 git cvsimport -v -d `pwd`/$PROJECT -C $PROJECT.git gtk-gnutella-current
