Hi all,
I've made a patch to cvs2svn so that it includes a new cvs2bzr script.
I'd like to get this script included upstream but it needs some testing
first from people with real CVS repositories. A Bazaar branch with the
patch included is available here:
https://code.launchpad.net/~ian-clatworthy/+junk/cvs2svn.
If you have a CVS repository lying around, please, please, please give
cvs2bzr a whirl and let us know how it goes.
Thanks,
Ian C.
PS: cvs2bzr actually generates a Bazaar-friendly fast-import stream. To
get a real Bazaar repository, grab rev 205 or later of lp:bzr-fastimport
and run these commands:
bzr fast-export-from-cvs path-to-repo xxx.fi
bzr init-repo --2a xxx.bzr
cd xxx.bzr
bzr fast-import ../xxx.fi
The "fast-export-from-cvs" command uses cvs2bzr under the covers so it
needs to be on your path.
