Hi All,
I'm trying to use cvs2svn in cvs2git mode to convert a repo with a number of modules.
Can anyone tell me how to keep that module structure in the new git repo? So, if in cvs there are two modules,
ModA and ModB, I want to see those two as top level directories in the git repo.
I've tried putting adding the projects in my options file as below, but it puts the files ModA/* and ModB/* at the top level in the git repo.
run_options.add_project(
r'/home/foo/cvsrepo/ModA,
trunk_path=ModA',
symbol_transforms=[
ReplaceSubstringsSymbolTransform('\\','/'),
NormalizePathsSymbolTransform(),
],
symbol_strategy_rules=[
UnambiguousUsageRule(),
BranchIfCommitsRule(),
HeuristicStrategyRule(),
HeuristicPreferredParentRule(),
],
)
run_options.add_project(
r'/home/foo/cvsrepo/ModB,
trunk_path=ModB',
symbol_transforms=[
ReplaceSubstringsSymbolTransform('\\','/'),
NormalizePathsSymbolTransform(),
],
symbol_strategy_rules=[
UnambiguousUsageRule(),
BranchIfCommitsRule(),
HeuristicStrategyRule(),
HeuristicPreferredParentRule(),
],
)

That is because cvs2git completely ignores the trunk_path argument to add_project(). It is strange that the code allows you to add multiple projects, considering that the cvs2git documentation[1] states that cvs2git only supports converting single projects at a time. I guess I forgot to build that check in. You can get the result you want by treating ModA and ModB not as two separate projects, but simply as two separate subdirectories within a bigger project; i.e., run_options.add_project( r'/home/foo/cvsrepo, [...] ) . This is assuming that ModA and ModB are the only subdirectories within /home/foo/cvsrepo/; otherwise, make a copy of your CVS repo and remove the other subdirectories from the copy before the conversion. Please note that when cvs2git is run this way, it treats tags and branches as being global. If you tagged your projects simultaneously, then this is probably what you want. But if you tagged your projects separately, then tag names that happen to be the same across projects will be considered the same. It would be possible to add cvs2git support for multiproject conversions, but I was under the impression that it doesn't make much sense to put multiple projects into a single git repository. But I'm a novice git user, so I could very well be wrong about that. Michael [1] http://cvs2svn.tigris.org/cvs2git.html ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

The idea is that you first convert the submodule parts from cvs to git, and then when you convert the parent project the submodules are continuously updated based on a submodule description file and the dates. To use it, write a file in the same format as .gitmodules and pass it to cvs-import via -E. I eventually decided that submodules were getting in the way far more than they were helping, so I stopped using this. Perhaps someone else will find it useful.

As far as making sense, it depends on whether you think of them as projects or cvs modules. Our projects are made up of multiple cvs modules, for various reasons, so it makes sense for us. -Kelly ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread
