The point of these sections is generally to:
1. Give credit where it is due.
2. Give the reader an idea of where to ask questions or
file bug reports.
But they don't do a good job of either case. For (1), they
are out of date and incomplete. A much more accurate answer
can be gotten through shortlog or blame. For (2), the
correct contact point is generally git@vger, and even if you
wanted to cc the contact point, the out-of-date and
incomplete fields mean you're likely sending to somebody
useless.
So let's drop the fields entirely from all manpages except
git(1) itself. We already point people to the mailing list
for bug reports there, and we can update the Authors section
to give credit to the major contributors and point to
shortlog and blame for more information.
Each page has a "This is part of git" footer, so people can
follow that to the main git manpage.

NAME

|
----
|
|
git-cvsexportcommit - Export a single commit to a CVS checkout
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
'git cvsexportcommit' [-h] [-u] [-v] [-c] [-P] [-p] [-a] [-d cvsroot]
|
|
[-w cvsworkdir] [-W] [-f] [-m msgprefix] [PARENTCOMMIT] COMMITID
|
|
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
Exports a commit from GIT to a CVS checkout, making it easier
|
|
to merge patches from a git repository into a CVS repository.
|
|
|
|
Specify the name of a CVS checkout using the -w switch or execute it
|
|
from the root of the CVS working copy. In the latter case GIT_DIR must
|
|
be defined. See examples below.
|
|
|
|
It does its best to do the safe thing, it will check that the files are
|
|
unchanged and up to date in the CVS checkout, and it will not autocommit
|
|
by default.
|
|
|
|
Supports file additions, removals, and commits that affect binary files.
|
|
|
|
If the commit is a merge commit, you must tell 'git cvsexportcommit' what
|
|
parent the changeset should be done against.
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
-c::
|
|
Commit automatically if the patch applied cleanly. It will not
|
|
commit if any hunks fail to apply or there were other problems.
|
|
|
|
-p::
|
|
Be pedantic (paranoid) when applying patches. Invokes patch with
|
|
--fuzz=0
|
|
|
|
-a::
|
|
Add authorship information. Adds Author line, and Committer (if
|
|
different from Author) to the message.
|
|
|
|
-d::
|
|
Set an alternative CVSROOT to use. This corresponds to the CVS
|
|
-d parameter. Usually users will not want to set this, except
|
|
if using CVS in an asymmetric fashion.
|
|
|
|
-f::
|
|
Force the merge even if the files are not up to date.
|
|
|
|
-P::
|
|
Force the parent commit, even if it is not a direct parent.
|
|
|
|
-m::
|
|
Prepend the commit message with the provided prefix.
|
|
Useful for patch series and the like.
|
|
|
|
-u::
|
|
Update affected files from CVS repository before attempting export.
|
|
|
|
-k::
|
|
Reverse CVS keyword expansion (e.g. $Revision: 1.2.3.4$
|
|
becomes $Revision$) in working CVS checkout before applying patch.
|
|
|
|
-w::
|
|
Specify the location of the CVS checkout to use for the export. This
|
|
option does not require GIT_DIR to be set before execution if the
|
|
current directory is within a git repository. The default is the
|
|
value of 'cvsexportcommit.cvsdir'.
|
|
|
|
-W::
|
|
Tell cvsexportcommit that the current working directory is not only
|
|
a Git checkout, but also the CVS checkout. Therefore, Git will
|
|
reset the working directory to the parent commit before proceeding.
|
|
|
|
-v::
|
|
Verbose.
|
|
|
|
CONFIGURATION
|
|
-------------
|
|
cvsexportcommit.cvsdir::
|
|
The default location of the CVS checkout to use for the export.
|
|
|
|
EXAMPLES
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
Merge one patch into CVS::
|
|
+
|
|
------------
|
|
$ export GIT_DIR=~/project/.git
|
|
$ cd ~/project_cvs_checkout
|
|
$ git cvsexportcommit -v <commit-sha1>
|
|
$ cvs commit -F .msg <files>
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Merge one patch into CVS (-c and -w options). The working directory is within the Git Repo::
|
|
+
|
|
------------
|
|
$ git cvsexportcommit -v -c -w ~/project_cvs_checkout <commit-sha1>
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Merge pending patches into CVS automatically -- only if you really know what you are doing::
|
|
+
|
|
------------
|
|
$ export GIT_DIR=~/project/.git
|
|
$ cd ~/project_cvs_checkout
|
|
$ git cherry cvshead myhead | sed -n 's/^+ //p' | xargs -l1 git cvsexportcommit -c -p -v
