Jeff, Thanks. We have several systems using Razor right now. So we are trying to get all the systems into one CM system. Razor is just a gui that uses rcs commands. Once we get everything synced we will explore our options for a complete development CM system.

We don't usually get requests to go from git to rcs; it usually goes the other way. :) I don't know offhand of a tool that does it out of the box. It should be possible to generate the RCS files directly from the "git log" data (though RCS does not use unified diff for storage, but rather "ed" commands, so you'd have to translate there). A slower simpler way would be to just "replay" the git history, committing to rcs at each step. That might look something like the hacky, largely untested script below: -- >8 -- #!/bin/sh # note that this does not handle filenames which need quoting. changed_files() { git diff-tree -r --name-only "$1" | tail -n +2 } # Look at each commit in chronological order; note # that this will linearize your history, as this # script does not know about branches at all. git rev-list --reverse HEAD | while read rev; do # take a lock on each file we are about to update rcs -l $(changed_files $rev) # update the working tree to this revision git checkout -fq $rev # get commit date in iso8601 date=$(git log -1 --format=%ai) # get author "login". This just pulls the username from # the email address; you may also want to map email # addresses to logins via a file. login=$(git log -1 --format=%ae | cut -d@ -f1) # original commit message msg=$(git log -1 --format=%B) # now we're ready to checkin ci -w"$login" -d"$date" -m"$msg" $(changed_files $rev) </dev/null done -- 8< -- There are lots of ways it can go wrong (and I tried to note them above), but it may be enough for a simple history. -Peff ��.n��������+%������w��{.n��������n�r������&��z�ޗ�zf���h���~����������_��+v���)ߣ�
