OK, thanks a lot, now that I'm using cvsps especially for git from http://ydirson.free.fr/en/software/scm/cvsps.html things are looking a bit better. There are some modules I can import with relative little noise. Not sure why I needed to do 'checkout -f' to get all the files in the working directory, but I got no problem with that. For some other modules it doesn't work at all. I.e. trying $ git cvsimport -d :pserver:ray007@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/cvs/drupal-contrib -C localizer -a contributions/modules/localizer Initialized empty Git repository in /home/ray/drupal/modules/localizer/.git/ file 'CHANGELOG.txt; pre_rev:INITIAL; post_rev:1.1; dead:0; branch_point:0 ' not found in hash fatal: refs/heads/origin: not a valid SHA1 fatal: master: not a valid SHA1 warning: You appear to be on a branch yet to be born. warning: Forcing checkout of HEAD. fatal: just how do you expect me to merge 0 trees? checkout failed: 256 Any hint what I have done wrong? Doing a normal cvs checkout works, trying to do a git-cvsimport in the checked-out directory fails with the same error again. For trying out, username=anonymous, password=anonymous should work. Or to just see what's in the repo, you can have a look at http://cvs.drupal.org/viewcvs/drupal/contributions/modules/localizer/ to see the repo I tried in the example above. My perl knowledge is _very_ limited, but I'll have a look at the script too ... -- best regards Ray - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
