Hi, I struggle with importing a CVS repository into git to switch over development. In some branches there're differences in the source code after importing into git. We tracked this down to tags and branches that where tagged partially in CVS, first a tag was set on one subdirectory tree (sources), later on another subdirectory tree (docs). This confuses cvsimport or cvsps, the tag in git after import doesn't match the tag in CVS.
how do you expect this to ever work? your tag is not a time stable one. the tag spans multiple change sets. best forget the whole tag thing, seriously. my cvs converter [1] already has a hard time reproducing branches correctly. doing this with tags is impossible. svn can do this because they don't have tags, so it is a kind of fake. of course you could do this in git as well by actually creating a branch for a tag, but it is really messy. just don't do that. good luck simon [1]: <http://ww2.fs.ei.tum.de/~corecode/hg/fromcvs>, not 100% yet, but probably the best you can get at the moment. i'm a perfectionist, so i might never call it "done". -- Serve - BSD +++ RENT this banner advert +++ ASCII Ribbon /"\ Work - Mac +++ space for low €€€ NOW!1 +++ Campaign \ / Party Enjoy Relax | http://dragonflybsd.org Against HTML \ Dude 2c 2 the max ! http://golden-apple.biz Mail + News / \
