My assumption is: * the original cvs repo will have later additions (so I'm incrementally importing) * no commints (besides cvsimport) in the git mirror, but others for off from there * the mirror could get lost in an desaster (no separate backup) and should be recreated afresh in that case. The point behind this is: I'm running a growing number of cvs2git mirrors and dont want to do full backups of them. cu -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt, metux IT service -- http://www.metux.de/ phone: +49 36207 519931 email: weigelt@metux.de mobile: +49 151 27565287 icq: 210169427 skype: nekrad666 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Embedded-Linux / Portierung / Opensource-QM / Verteilte Systeme ----------------------------------------------------------------------
