This series is a first draft towards implementing a foreign VCS helper program for CVS. It is based on the 'db/foreign-scm' and 'jh/notes' topics in 'pu'. As such, this patch series should apply cleanly to current 'pu'. The first 4 patches supply the necessary parts of Daniel Barkalow's foreign-scm topic that has not yet been merged to 'pu' (i.e. everything remaining in Daniel's original patch series, except the p4-specific stuff). The next 2 patches add some functionality to git fast-import, for facilitating the import of 'notes' objects (this is a _much_ faster way to generate/import notes than invoking "git notes edit -m MSG" for each note). Next, there are 3 patches tweaking and expanding the git-vcs API (with corresponding implementations in the foreign transport code) to adjust for the CVS helper's needs. The final 2 patches add the git-vcs-cvs helper program that implements the fetch/import of objects from a local or remote CVS repository, along with selftests for verifying its correctness in some simple cases. This is a first RFC/draft of this helper program, and will hopefully grow along with the foreign-scm feature itself until it provides a compelling alternative to "git cvsimport" and "git cvsexportcommit". Daniel Barkalow (4): Add specification of git-vcs-* helper programs Use a function to determine whether a remote is valid Allow programs to not depend on remotes having urls Add a transport implementation using git-vcs-* helpers Johan Herland (7): Refactor path name parsing into new function: get_path_str() Add support for mark references as path names Preliminary clarifications to git-vcs documentation Teach foreign transport code to perform the "capabilities" command Introduce a 'marks <filename>' feature to the foreign transport code First draft of CVS importer using the foreign-scm machinery Add simple test cases of git-vcs-cvs functionality Documentation/git-fast-import.txt | 9 +- Documentation/git-vcs-cvs.txt | 85 ++++ Documentation/git-vcs.txt | 88 ++++ Makefile | 47 ++ builtin-fetch.c | 19 +- builtin-ls-remote.c | 4 +- builtin-push.c | 54 ++- configure.ac | 3 + fast-import.c | 71 ++-- git-vcs-cvs.py | 697 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ git_vcs_cvs/.gitignore | 2 + git_vcs_cvs/Makefile | 27 ++ git_vcs_cvs/changeset.py | 114 +++++ git_vcs_cvs/commit_states.py | 52 +++ git_vcs_cvs/cvs.py | 884 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ git_vcs_cvs/cvs_revision_map.py | 367 +++++++++++++++ git_vcs_cvs/cvs_symbol_cache.py | 283 ++++++++++++ git_vcs_cvs/git.py | 588 ++++++++++++++++++++++++ git_vcs_cvs/setup.py | 12 + git_vcs_cvs/util.py | 147 ++++++ remote.c | 13 +- t/t9800-foreign-vcs-cvs-basic.sh | 518 ++++++++++++++++++++++ t/t9801-foreign-vcs-cvs-fetch.sh | 291 ++++++++++++ t/test-lib.sh | 1 + transport-foreign.c | 271 ++++++++++++ transport.c | 4 + transport.h | 1 + 27 files changed, 4588 insertions(+), 64 deletions(-) create mode 100644 Documentation/git-vcs-cvs.txt create mode 100644 Documentation/git-vcs.txt create mode 100755 git-vcs-cvs.py create mode 100644 git_vcs_cvs/.gitignore create mode 100644 git_vcs_cvs/Makefile create mode 100644 git_vcs_cvs/__init__.py create mode 100644 git_vcs_cvs/changeset.py create mode 100644 git_vcs_cvs/commit_states.py create mode 100644 git_vcs_cvs/cvs.py create mode 100644 git_vcs_cvs/cvs_revision_map.py create mode 100644 git_vcs_cvs/cvs_symbol_cache.py create mode 100644 git_vcs_cvs/git.py create mode 100644 git_vcs_cvs/setup.py create mode 100644 git_vcs_cvs/util.py create mode 100755 t/t9800-foreign-vcs-cvs-basic.sh create mode 100755 t/t9801-foreign-vcs-cvs-fetch.sh create mode 100644 transport-foreign.c Have fun! :) ...Johan -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
