Take the 2-minute tour ×  I've got two different exports of our
CVS repository into git. They diverge at some point, and I'm
doing some investigation into why. The development line goes
back several years and over tens of thousands of commits.  At
the beginning of the development line, the SHA1 IDs for each
commit are identical, telling me that git-cvsimport is very
consistent about what it is doing when it reads the results of
cvsps and imports.  But sometime between the first commit and
yesterday, the SHA1 IDs begin to diverge. I'd like to find out
where this is by comparing a list of commit IDs from each
repository and looking to see what's missing. Are there any good
tools or techniques for doing this?  share|improve this question

just cat each repo's git log to its own file and compare? The
difference closest to the bottom of the file is where they
started diverging...  share|improve this answer This is actually
what I wound up doing yesterday
