Hi, I'm pretty new to GIT. I quickly convinced our project to move to GIT, except for one guy that wants to do Windows and CVS :-( I setup a test and the checkout works just fine, but commit from cvs doesn't work. The details: * Server: git version 1.5.3.1 compiled on SuSE 10.2, 64-bits * Client, both SuSE CVS 1.12.12 and the current WinCVS cvs.exe, so it appears irrelevant. I created a test repository from a papers directory using the sequence beloe. (P.s. isn't there a more elegant way to get to a bare shared repo from a set of files? I tried (mkdir papers.git && cd papers.git && git --bare init --shared=all), but I can't clone an empty bare repository (doesn't create anything), so I can't add to it). % cd ~/tmp/papers % git-init % git-add . % git-commit % cd /home/git % git-clone --bare --no-hardlinks ~/tmp/papers/ papers.git % cd papers.git % git-config core.sharedrepository all % chmod g+ws `find . -type d` % chmod g+w `find . -type f` Anyway, appears to work fine with GIT to clone, pull and push. Using CVS over SSH, I can checkout this just fine, creating HEAD. Now I change a file and run "cvs commit" to get: gollem (2006) 11_> cvs commit -m "test" cvs [commit aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages if any) I enabled logging and added a few statements to git-cvsserver (line 1203) $log->info("Start git show-ref -s refs/heads/$state->{module}"); # Remember where the head was at the beginning. my $parenthash = `git show-ref -s refs/heads/$state->{module}`; $log->info("parenthash = $parenthash"); chomp $parenthash; if ($parenthash !~ /^[0-9a-f]{40}$/) { $log->warn("error 1 pserver cannot find the current HEAD of module"); exit; } Then I get this log output: ================================================================ 2007-10-03 12:25:16 : DEBUG - Temporary directory is '/tmp/XwYVFFqjyd' 2007-10-03 12:25:16 : DEBUG - req_Root : /home/git/papers.git 2007-10-03 12:25:16 : DEBUG - req_Validresponses : ok error Valid-requests Referrer Redirect Checked-in New-entry Checksum Co py-file Updated Created Update-existing Merged Patched Rcs-diff Mode Mod-time Removed Remove-entry Set-static-directory Clear -static-directory Set-sticky Clear-sticky Edit-file Template Clear-template Notified Module-expansion Wrapper-rcsOption M Mbi nary E F MT 2007-10-03 12:25:16 : DEBUG - req_validrequests 2007-10-03 12:25:16 : DEBUG - SEND : Valid-requests remove add status Entry watchers ci tag log co Modified Questionable admi n Root history valid-requests Global_option Argumentx annotate Valid-responses Unchanged Directory rlog Argument expand-modul es diff editors update 2007-10-03 12:25:16 : DEBUG - SEND : ok 2007-10-03 12:25:16 : DEBUG - req_Globaloption : -q 2007-10-03 12:25:16 : DEBUG - Argument : -m 2007-10-03 12:25:16 : DEBUG - Argument : test 2007-10-03 12:25:16 : DEBUG - Argument : -- 2007-10-03 12:25:16 : INFO - Setting prepend to '2006/' 2007-10-03 12:25:16 : DEBUG - Prepending '2006/' to state|directory 2007-10-03 12:25:16 : DEBUG - req_Directory : localdir=. repository=/home/git/papers.git/HEAD/2006 path=2006/ directory=2006/ module=HEAD 2007-10-03 12:25:16 : INFO - Received entry line '/README.txt/1.1///' => '2006/README.txt' 2007-10-03 12:25:16 : DEBUG - Argument : README.txt 2007-10-03 12:25:16 : INFO - req_ci : [NULL] 2007-10-03 12:25:16 : INFO - Lockless commit start, basing commit on '/tmp/XwYVFFqjyd/ud4uGbbUJg', index file is '/tmp/XwYVF Fqjyd/3FeXMladmb' 2007-10-03 12:25:16 : INFO - Start git show-ref -s refs/heads/HEAD 2007-10-03 12:25:16 : INFO - parenthash = 2007-10-03 12:25:16 : WARN - error 1 pserver cannot find the current HEAD of module ================================================================ I don't like the req_ci : [NULL] very much, and the last 3 lines clearly shows a problem. I checked the latest git repository of git. There is no change to git-cvsserver.perl. I'm still a bit too newbie to (and not much of a Perl programmer). Does anyone has a clue? Do I have the wrong version for something? Did I setup the repository wrongly?
