I have been using the following script to maintain a mirror of Grub's CVS repository. The first time it's run it creates a git repository in 'upstream'; subsequent runs will import any new commits since the last run. #!/bin/sh =20 set -e =20 export CVSROOT=3D:pserver:anonymous@cvs.savannah.gnu.org:/sources/g= rub git-cvsimport -k -v -i -C upstream grub2 The full history, including branches, is imported. The 'upstream' directory ends up being 6.3 MiB, which includes a checkout of the 'origin' branch. --=20 Sam Morris http://robots.org.uk/ PGP key id 1024D/5EA01078 3412 EA18 1277 354B 991B C869 B219 7FDB 5EA0 1078 --=-bTqbFOGLmNgHY2FPcVsh Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBGdn0Nshl/216gEHgRAmmwAJ9jJ4OGrGD3MXWQDd/MNNCAgV70RgCgoV0b 1SNwRDH5o/4UBwKgyRrCagg= =ryZo -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-bTqbFOGLmNgHY2FPcVsh--
