Is it possible to run more than once for a refresh?

Issue Summary

I happily ran a wordpress import a few months ago, but it turns out the client did not shut down comments on the old blog. If I run import again, will it correctly add the comments to old blog posts? Is there any checks for duplicating existing content? Or is it a one-time deal?

Thanks,

I'm afraid that running the import process more than once will duplicate content.

That said, a "refresh" feature would be indeed nice to have.

Fixed in 6.x-2.x-dev. Now posts that have same timestamp and title won't be re-imported as nodes, but on these nodes, still import new comments and trackbacks. New categories and tags won't be duplicated (was already that way before), however changes in categories/tags of posts won't be imported.
