Description Marcin Wisnicki CLA 2011-05-13 19:03:33 EDT 
Build Identifier: 

CVS commits that touch multiple files are not converted to single Git commit.

For example in CDT repository mirror:

> 3167683 | 2011-05-08 22:23:40 +0000 | sprigogin | Methods for controlling 
> 1a0b7c2 | 2011-05-08 22:22:57 +0000 | sprigogin | Methods for controlling 
> 419872e | 2011-05-08 22:22:14 +0000 | sprigogin | Methods for controlling 
... 
> be45f84 | 2011-05-08 22:06:57 +0000 | sprigogin | Methods for controlling 

There is somewhat large time difference between commits.
git-cvsimport (and cvsps) have timestamp fuzz factor with default value of 300s which is not exceeded between single commits above so maybe you are using different tool or configuration ?

Anyway, would be nice if it could be fixed (for new commits and maybe for existing ones too?).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. git clone git://dev.eclipse.org/org.eclipse.cdt/org.eclipse.cdt.git
2. cd org.eclipse.cdt
3. git log --format=format:"> %h | %ai | %an | %s" 3167683

CVS is deprecated at Eclipse, and all projects will be moving to Git.  As such, the CVS->Git repos are deprecated, and no effort will be invested in fixing the issues.
