Question mark character appears to be valid in a CVS tag, but not a git one. Remove it. Leave open the possibility that there may be more such characters; and comment (FIXME) that we may want to replace those instead of removing them. Also: if git tag command fails, do not include $! in our error message: it is not useful after system(), and will only serve as a red herring. --- git-cvsimport.perl | 6 ++++-- 1 files changed, 4 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/git-cvsimport.perl b/git-cvsimport.perl index 9e03eee..48de2b4 100755 --- a/git-cvsimport.perl +++ b/git-cvsimport.perl @@ -840,10 +840,12 @@ sub commit { $xtag =~ s/\s+\*\*.*$//; # Remove stuff like ** INVALID ** and ** FUNKY ** $xtag =~ tr/_/\./ if ( $opt_u ); $xtag =~ s/[\/]/$opt_s/g; - $xtag =~ s/\[//g; + # The following characters are valid in CVS tags but not git. + # Remove them.
