Not quite. I'm suggesting it's an appropriate lingua franca for centralized
VCSes with branching, e.g. everything pre-Arch.
That's a huge goal that gets in the way of waht we want to do here: we
are trying to save time, not embark on some huge mission.
cvs2svn has all the "wtf-did-cvs-mean-by-that" algorithms that are
very hard to write and maintain, and it seems to be the best one at
that. Of course, it also writes SVN repos -- but I'm sure that's the
easiest part.
We don't need no meta VCS for any of this.
All we need is to hook into the "write out a repo based on all the
stuff we parsed from cvs". Perhaps it's doable, and if Michael helps
out abstracting that part a bit, maintainable long term too.
cheers,
