I use fromcvs which is *very* fast, and quite memory conservative compared to the others and seems reliable so far (six months). It probably breaks on exotic variants of branches though, but I don't have those / don't care about them. Do not push into the same repo fromcvs works on. I don't understand why, but I pushed once and *poof* the conversion went bad. Drawbacks, more dependencies and access to the rcs files is required and tags are not converted. -- robin - 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
