Re: [Savannah-hackers-public] Possible migration to git for GCL

[Camm Maguire]

Greetings!  Yes, thanks so much, it works as you state without -e ssh.

Here is my script at present:

#!/bin/bash

rsync -av vcs.sv.gnu.org::sources/gcl/ ./gclr/
cvs2git --blobfile=b --dumpfile=d --username=cvs2git --symbol-hints=sh ./gclr/
cat d | ./gcl.committers >do
rm -rf gcl.git
mkdir gcl.git
cd gcl.git
git init --bare
cat ../b ../do | git fast-import
../git-move-refs.py
git gc --prune=now
cd ..
rm -rf gcl
git clone ./gcl.git

Still having trouble getting cvs2git to identify branchpoints, even with
a symbol-hints file.  But getting closer!

Take care,
