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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
-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 '-x' 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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
