Subject: parsecvs losing files
Date: Wed, 28 May 2008 15:50:07 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <b2cdc9f30805280750v3b92d115yf76f382e5c2fa418@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi,

I've been using a daily cron job running parsecvs to convert an uber
CVS tree into git. It works quite well and is substantially faster
than all the other methods I have tried. It also re-creates the same
history every time which is something I haven't managed to do with the
other tools.

Anyway today I noticed it had failed to import a sub-directory of the
project (not a bit I usually build). However looking at the import log
from parsecvs I see that the file was read by parsecvs. It looks as
though it should have made it into the git repo. The only thing that
seems different from the other modules is that the files where
imported once and don't seem to have been touched since. This may of
caused parsecvs to get confused?

Questions:

1. Has anyone seen this behaviour with parsecvs?
2. Is there any way to list all the tree objects in a repo so I can
search to see if the files exist in a tree but just not this branch?
