Earlier today David Mansfield handed off to me the cvsps project. This is the code used as an engine for reading CVS repositories by git-cvsimport. His reason (aside from general overwork and no longer having a strong interest on the code) is that I have added a --fast-export option to cvsps-3.0 that emits a git fast-import stream representing the CVS history. I did this so that reposurgeon could use cvsps as a front end. But I expect it will be of some interest to whoever is maintaining git-cvsimport. That code can now become much, *much* smaller and simpler. The new --fast-export mode solves at least one bug mentioned on the git-cvsimport man page; multiple tags pointing at the same CVS changeset will be passed through correctly. Possibly it fixes some other problems described there as well. I don't understand all the bug warnings on that page and would like to discuss them with the author, whoever that is. Possibly cvsps can be further enhanced to address these problems; I'm willing to work on that. -- <a href="http://www.catb.org/~esr/";>Eric S.
