IMHO, you will *have to* use -p, since otherwise you won't be able to get data from a ,v file that's already been checked-out from with a lock (co -l) without breaking the lock. About patchsets, RCS users can indeed commit several files at a time with a single log message, so for some RCS repos it would make sense to reconstruct patchsets. > Actually, that might also help for the problem described in > <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.tailor/270> I don't think so - it would only help when you have local access to the cvs repository. In fact, it would be a similar approach to parsecvs, which currently allows to convert from cvs to git - you may want to take a look at it (available from git repo at git://git.freedesktop.org/~keithp/parsecvs).
