Subject: CVS to git: parsing ChangeLog entries?
Date: Wed, 12 Mar 2008 20:08:27 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080312190827.GE3198@ins.uni-bonn.de> (raw)
Hello,
when migrating a project that uses GNU-style ChangeLogs from CVS
to git, is it possible to extract patch author information from
the ChangeLog entries rather than from the CVS commit logs?
For simplicity let's first assume the project used only one
ChangeLog file.
Asking because it is not uncommon that patches are committed on
behalf of other people, and it would be nice to credit them.
Related question: when CVS commit logs have varying encoding,
say, some latin1 and some UTF-8, is it possible to have uniformly
encoded git log entries?
Thank you, and please Cc: me on replies,
Ralf
