I ran this in my cvs->git repository for libtasn1, and then did a diff against the output from cvs2cl in the old repository. Here are some categories of differences: 1) Indentation should be under the '*'. Compare (wrong): * src/asn1Coding.c, src/asn1Decoding.c, src/asn1Parser.c: Improve --help output. Assume getopt_long, since gnulib provides it. with (correct): * src/asn1Coding.c, src/asn1Decoding.c, src/asn1Parser.c: Improve --help output. Assume getopt_long, since gnulib provides it. 2) Don't log anything for empty messages: * gl/.cvsignore: *** empty log message *** Possibly, this should be an option. 3) Possible charset problem? Compare this (correct): * configure.in: Fix -Wno-pointer-sign test to respect user-defined CFLAGS. Reported by "Diego 'Flameeyes' Pettenò" <flameeyes@xxxxxxxxxx>. with (wrong): * configure.in: Fix -Wno-pointer-sign test to respect user-defined CFLAGS. Reported The git log do seem to contain the correct data, though, from git-log: Fix -Wno-pointer-sign test to respect user-defined CFLAGS. Reported by "Diego 'Flameeyes' Pettenò" <flameeyes@xxxxxxxxxx>. 4) Weird error, compare (correct): * lib/coding.c: (asn1_der_coding): For TYPE_NULL, increment counter even if we don't write any output. Reported by Stephen Wrobleski <steve@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>. with (wrong): * lib/coding.c: (asn1_der_coding): For TYPE_NULL, increment counter even if we don't Maybe this is related to the last one, and the problem really is '<' or '>'? Here is another one, compare (correct): * lib/coding.c: (asn1_octet_der): Work even if str_len is 0, i.e., write an ASN.1 length of zero. Otherwise encodings became garbled on 64-bit platforms, detected while running the Shishi self-tests on the Debian build robots. A self test to reproduce this is in Test_tree. with (wrong): * lib/coding.c: (asn1_octet_der): Work even if str_len is 0, i.e., write an ASN.1 I'll let you fix these and resume the diff later. :) Can I pull your git tree from somewhere? Applying patches from e-mail is kind of boring. /Simon - 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
