Sure, just that it would be a lot of work to do the job robustly, given
all of the things that one can change retroactively in CVS.  (And by the
way, the other incremental migration tools that I know of are *not*
robust.  Certainly not the ones that are based on cvsps.)  We've even
though a bit about the design for incremental conversions, but absent
volunteers or sponsorship it is not likely to be done anytime soon.
