Sure, but we should fix parsecvs to handle incremental CVS tracking if
that's one of the goals for this utility. git-cvsimport does this by
skipping commits earlier than a fixed time; if we did that, we'd
eliminate the huge memory usage except for initial imports. I haven't
considered how this might be done in detail yet; I have no personal need
for this functionality.
