Hello. I don't believe that git-cvsexportcommit.perl is working properly. First off, invocations of "git-apply" fail on my system. "git apply" works. (The aforementioned script uses the former.) Second, please have a look at this output (specific strings have been replaced with 'foo') hobbes@metalbaby:~/src/foo$ git cvsexportcommit -v fecc8b4bb3d91d204f4eb3ebd112f6cec6004819 Applying to CVS commit fecc8b4bb3d91d204f4eb3ebd112f6cec6004819 from parent 695a544fbdcf7e0614c35d1dab9a3eac0cc57b4c Checking if patch will apply cvs status: nothing known about `WebContent/WEB-INF/lib/commons-lang-2.6.jar' cvs status: nothing known about `WebContent/WEB-INF/lib/commons-configuration-1.9.jar' cvs status: nothing known about `JavaSource/foo/ConfigManager.java' cvs status: nothing known about `JavaSource/config.xml' Huh?

My suspicion is that it has something to do with the $basename stuff, but, who am I kidding? I don't grok perl. I haven't yet explored the error lines after "Applying". So, what do I want? I want somebody to test git-cvsexportcommit.perl. If it passes tests, then I'd like help creating a test that it does fail. (Perhaps my workspace can help. Perhaps it is as simple as the presence of a new file in a subdirectory.)
