CVS migration help

[Thomas Manson]

Has someone ever convert from cvs to bazaar ?


I've now tryed fast import...

Documentation says :


> bzr init-repo .
> front-end | bzr fast-import -
>

as front-end, there is cvs2svn...

But cvs2svn doesn't have an option to put the conversion on the output.
so i've tryed the following :

cvs2svn --encoding ISO-8859-1 --dumpfile=test  cvs/files/
mkdir bzr-tst
cd bzr-tst
bzr init-repo .
cat ../test  | bzr fast-import -

which fails...


> bzr: ERROR: line 1: Invalid command 'SVN-fs-dump-format-version: 2'


I even tried this :

 cvs2svn --encoding ISO-8859-1 --dumpfile=../test  ../cvs/files/ | bzr
fast-import -


> bzr: ERROR: line 1: Invalid command '----- pass 1 (CollectRevsPass) -----'

 Maybe I'll stay on cvs... maybe bad, but works... (yes, I'm bitter)
