I track a CVS project which has a branch with a '/' in the branch name. Since git wants the branch name to be a file name at the same time, substitute that character to a '-' by default (override with "-s <subst>"). This should work well, despite the fact that a division and a difference are completely different :-) Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <Johannes.Schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

git-cvsimport-script - Import a CVS repository into git
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
'git-cvsimport-script' [ -o <branch-for-HEAD> ] [ -h ] [ -v ]
|
|
[ -d <CVSROOT> ] [ -p <options-for-cvsps> ]
|
|
[ -C <GIT_repository> ] [ -i ] [ -k ]
|
|
[ -s <subst> ] [ <CVS_module> ]
|
|
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
Imports a CVS repository into git. It will either create a new
|
|
repository, or incrementally import into an existing one.
|
|
|
|
Splitting the CVS log into patch sets is done by 'cvsps'.
|
|
At least version 2.1 is required.
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
-d <CVSROOT>::
|
|
The root of the CVS archive. May be local (a simple path) or remote;
|
|
currently, only the :local:, :ext: and :pserver: access methods
|
|
are supported.
|
|
|
|
-C <target-dir>::
|
|
The GIT repository to import to. If the directory doesn't
|
|
exist, it will be created. Default is the current directory.
|
|
|
|
-i::
|
|
Import-only: don't perform a checkout after importing. This option
|
|
ensures the working directory and cache remain untouched and will
|
|
not create them if they do not exist.
|
|
|
|
-k::
|
|
Kill keywords: will extract files with -kk from the CVS archive
|
|
to avoid noisy changesets. Highly recommended, but off by default
|
|
to preserve compatibility with early imported trees.
|
|
|
|
-o <branch-for-HEAD>::
|
|
The 'HEAD' branch from CVS is imported to the 'origin' branch within
|
|
the git repository, as 'HEAD' already has a special meaning for git.
|
|
Use this option if you want to import into a different branch.
|
|
|
|
Use '-o master' for continuing an import that was initially done by
|
|
the old cvs2git tool.
|
|
|
|
-p <options-for-cvsps>::
|
|
Additional options for cvsps.
|
|
The options '-u' and '-A' are implicit and should not be used here.
|
|
|
|
If you need to pass multiple options, separate them with a comma.
|
|
|
|
-v::
|
|
Verbosity: let 'cvsimport' report what it is doing.
|
|
|
|
<CVS_module>::
|
|
The CVS module you want to import. Relative to <CVSROOT>.
|
|
|
|
-h::
|
|
Print a short usage message and exit.
|
|
|
|
-z <fuzz>::
|
|
Pass the timestamp fuzz factor to cvsps.
|
|
|
|
-s <subst>::
|
|
Substitute the character "/" in branch names with <subst>
|
|
|
|
OUTPUT
|
|
------
|
|
If '-v' is specified, the script reports what it is doing.
|
|
|
|
Otherwise, success is indicated the Unix way, i.e. by simply exiting with
|
|
a zero exit status.
