I once tried, but apparently, there are different repository formats for PVCS. For example, pvcs2cvs did not work for me. IIRC I used a simple shell script to convert pvcs (using the mega-slow command line tools) to ,v files. Then I converted that to Git. But it was pretty bad, the incremental update was broken more often than not. And after a few days, it became apparent that I do not need a full import, but that a simple commit-to-git-after-a-pvcs-update would be sufficient. > I have had some limited success by running a the pvcs2rcs.pl script from > CVS's sources and converting that to Git using cvs2svn, but I believe > the result could be better if I converted directly. Judging from the problems of importing CVS to Git (which mostly stem from the file-versioning paradigm), I suggest not trying to be too clever, but convert it to cvs and use a good cvs importer, such as cvs2svn (which despite its name also imports into Git) or parsecvs. Ciao, Dscho -- 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
