Peter Anvin 0 siblings, 1 reply; 4+ messages in thread From: Martin Langhoff @ 2005-05-08 23:16 UTC (permalink / raw) To: git I am looking into importing a cvs repo HEAD history into git using cvsps. I read throught the thread where Ingo discussed his import of the kernel sources, but I couldn't find any pointers to what kind of shell magic or other associated scripts were used, and google hasn't helped much either. How do I feed the patchsets into GIT preserving commit msgs and other metadata? A related question follows: is anyone running git -> cvs gateways, and how? pointers to TFM will be much appreciated ;) cheers, martin ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

I don't know what bits and pieces of infrastructure hang from the old BK-CVS changeset distribution infrastructure. Some projects do count on CVS gateways even if they use smarter SCMs. This is not just because of licensing issues -- sometimes portability and preexisting tools trump SCM changes. regards, martin ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
