Re: Migrating from Serena PVCS to GIT

Rivka Pollack:

Is there a simple way to migrate from Serena PVCS, with all of our older, versioned, documentation, into GIT repositories?

The only more-or-less reliable export from PVCS that I have found is to RCS. There is a script for PVCS-to-RCS export in the CVS source archives (I needed to hack the scripts a bit to get them to run properly, unfortunately I do not have access to those changes). It needs to be run on a machine that has both PVCS and RCS binaries installed, and it needs to check out every revision for every file, so it does take some time to run.

After doing that, I moved the RCS files to a CVS-like directory layout and imported them into Git using one of the CVS-to-Git migration tools.

A tedious process, but it can be done.
