To do some like-for-like tests I'm having a go at importing our cvs repository into git so I can do some benchmarks on things like branch creation as well as play around with the visualisation tools. Obviously the CVS repo is non-trivial as we have many branches (one per change developed). I've been trying to import script but it seems to falling over. For starters cvsps is spitting out lots of messages along the lines of: WARNING: revision 1.3.2.1 of file scripts/xmltools/t/runtests.pl on unnamed branch Before the import script finally dies with: WARNING: revision 1.3.2.1 of file scripts/xmltools/t/data/gzip/DO-NOT-BACKUP on unnamed branch DONE; creating master branch cp: cannot stat `/export/test/cvstogit/.git/refs/heads/origin': No such file or directory usage: git-read-tree ( | -m [-u] [ []]) Is this a just a case of the cvsps not giving output the script can deal with? Any suggestions on how I can proceed with diagnosing what went wrong? -- Alex, homepage: http://www.bennee.com/~alex/ Barometer, n.: An ingenious instrument which indicates what kind of weather we are having. -- Ambrose Bierce, "The Devil's Dictionary"
