Added -m and -M flags for git-cvsimport to detect merge commits in cvs. While this trusts the commit message, in repositories where merge commits indicate 'merged from FOOBRANCH' the import works surprisingly well. Even if some merges from CVS are bogus or incomplete, the resulting branches are in better state to go forward (and merge) than without any merge detection.

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.
|
|
|
|
-m::
|
|
Attempt to detect merges based on the commit message. This option
|
|
will enable default regexes that try to capture the name source
|
|
branch name from the commit message.
|
|
|
|
-M <regex>::
|
|
Attempt to detect merges based on the commit message with a custom
|
|
regex. It can be used with -m to also see the default regexes.
|
|
You must escape forward slashes.
|
|
|
|
-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.
