Subject: git cvsimport fails noisily if cvs has no server support
Date: Sun, 03 Feb 2008 16:28:24 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <47A5DD98.6000606@gmx.ch> (raw)
Hello list!
cvs (1.12.12) can be compiled with --disable-server to omit
support for cvs servers. Although this is not ./configure's
default, it was the default on my distro (gentoo). git-cvsimport
fails loudly as pasted below (note that this command is part of
the test t9600-cvsimport.sh). Nicer behavior would of course be
to detect the situation and inform the user that server support is
missing (and to skip the test).
jlh
$ git-cvsimport -a -z 0 -C module-git module
Unknown command: `server'
CVS commands are:
add Add a new file/directory to the repository
admin Administration front end for rcs
[...26 lines omitted...]
watch Set watches
watchers See who is watching a file
(Specify the --help option for a list of other help options)

Expected Valid-requests from server, but got: <unknown>
