|
|
|
SYNOPSIS |
|
-------- |
|
'git-cvsimport' [ -o <branch-for-HEAD> ] [ -h ] [ -v ] |
|
[ -d <CVSROOT> ] [ -p <options-for-cvsps> ] |
|
[ -C <GIT_repository> ] [ -i ] [ -k ] |
|
[ -s <subst> ] [ -m ] [ -M regex ] [ <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. |
|
|
|
-u:: |
|
Convert underscores in tag and branch names to dots. |
|
|
|
-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. |
