Re: Re: cvstogit updates
Hi Ankur,
Thanks for your email. Yep, I want RPM Fusion's CVS-to-Git transition
to match what happened in Fedora a couple years ago.
From what I remember, Jessie's script required direct disk access
to
the CVS repositories (CVSROOT). It looks like that's still the case:
https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/releng/tree/scripts/distcvs2distgit.py
I took a different approach because I personally don't have direct
disk access to the CVS repositories. In other words, my cvstogit
script works over the internet. Anyone can run it and examine the
results on his or her own computer. (It also has an additional feature
in that it will automatically merge together any branches for which
the content is identical. In hindsight I wish Fedora had done this
when they did their own conversion.)

No worries, and thanks for asking about it.
