Nice. I guess the hard part of this is going to be creating DB schemas
that are reasonably portable. The SQL we use is as vanilla as it gets
;-)
Both dbname and dbuser support dynamic variable substitution where
the available variables are:
%m -- the CVS 'module' (i.e. GIT 'head') worked on
%a -- CVS access method used (i.e. 'ext' or 'pserver')
%u -- User name of the user invoking git-cvsserver
%G -- .git directory name
%g -- .git directory name, mangled to be used in a filename,
currently this substitutes all chars except for [\w.-]
with '_'
It's missing from the POD though ;-)
Good to see patches coming to cvsserver -- I haven't been able to do
much on it lately, and my pet projects are pretty hard. If anyone
cares, they are:
- mimic CVS branch support
- allow skewing version numbers to match an existing repo
with those 2 in place, we'd have a means of applying a "vampire tap"
to an existing cvs server and take over without anyone noticing. But
tehy are both hard, hard hard.
cheers.
