Ok. I have done a LOT of cleanup on the code. Consolidated the numerous config files, made the directory structure somewhat logical, etc. I also converted to git using git-cvsimport without too much trouble.

So now I have the question, how to I push my repository up to gitorous (already have an account) without including the entire history? I have cleaned the current tree to not contain any passwords/etc, but previous checkins definitely contained that sort of stuff.

It really seems like I should be able to push only the current code snapshot and let things progress from there. That way I get to keep my history and the server continues from here on out? Is git rebase what I am looking for???

Thanks,
Matt

I'll check them out. I've been meaning to switch over to something other than CVS for a long time. I primarily use CVS for code backup/versioning on personal projects where I am the only developer so I have been lazy :).

Yeah I know the feeling... I've still got one personal CVS kicking around too.... laziness wins every time :D

Is there a CVS->GIT conversion tool that will allow me to keep my entire revision history?

Sure. There are both cvs and svn tools distributed with git.

With git-svn you can get bi-directional linkage to the subversion repository (e.g. for using git locally to work with upstream projects that still use subversion) allowing you to rebase your clone on upstream commits and also commit your local changes back to subversion too. I use it all the time at work and it's awesome.

The cvs module is not bi-directional, but it should work fine for a one-off import:
