"commit"s without "from" in fast-import

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I have a question about fast-import, specifically a (possibly) unorthodox usage of it by cvs2svn. Cvs2svn generates "commit"s with no "from" commands; instead, it emits a "merge" from the previous commit on the branch, and then rebuilds the entire state of the tree.

I've verified that the generated repositories are correct, so I know that it works, and I _think_ that it's equivalent to having "from <mark>" followed by "filedeleteall".

What I'm wondering is: is there any reason to modify cvs2svn's output to comply more to the man page's way of doing things, or is this a perfectly valid usage?
