I've written it a million times to different people on irc, but somehow I never got around to making a README out of it. I'll write it up very condensed here and add this as a base for a README to the the repo. From CVS to * in little time ============================ Prerequisites: - ruby (1.8.5 known working) - fromcvs, <http://ww2.fs.ei.tum.de/~corecode/hg/fromcvs> - rcsparse, <http://ww2.fs.ei.tum.de/~corecode/hg/rcsparse> (ruby module) - Ruby/RBTree, <http://raa.ruby-lang.org/project/ruby-rbtree/> - for git: git-fast-import, <git://repo.or.cz/git/fastimport.git/> - for hg: ruby-python, <http://ww2.fs.ei.tum.de/~corecode/hg/ruby-python> How to convert a CVS repo: There is still a nice frontend missing, so you have to invoke the scripts by hand. % mkdir gitdest && (cd gitdest && git init) % ruby togit.rb /path/to/cvsroot modulename gitdest % cd gitdest && git-repack -a -f -d # optional, saves 20% or so If you want to get nice author names, create setup the file authormap: cat > /path/to/cvsroot/CVSROOT/authormap corecode Simon 'corecode' Schubert <corecode@fs.ei.tum.de> jdoe Jon H. Doe <hannidoe@example.net> branch-fixup CVS repo conversion <flames@example.net> that's about for the quickstart. be sure to report conversion errors or runtime issues (possibly due to obscure CVS repo activity) to me. cheers simon -- Serve - BSD +++ RENT this banner advert +++ ASCII Ribbon /"\ Work - Mac +++ space for low €€€ NOW!1 +++ Campaign \ / Party Enjoy Relax | http://dragonflybsd.org Against HTML \ Dude 2c 2 the max ! http://golden-apple.biz Mail + News / \ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
