With recent git, parsecvs now always fails like this: ... Save: master *.................... 1 of 269 Save: master *.................... 2 of 269 error: char77: malformed tagger field fatal: invalid tag signature file git-mktag < '.git-cvs/tag-0': No such file or directory This is due to the change that makes git's mktag perform stricter input validation. parsecvs patch below. [BTW, Keith, or anyone with write access to the parsecvs repo, I have a few other patches, but a few I sent have gone un-applied and with no response for months, I'm hoping there's a maintained repository somewhere else. I've been using this: git://people.freedesktop.org/~keithp/parsecvs Today's failure nearly pushed me to cvs2git (aka cvs2svn http://cvs2svn.tigris.org/cvs2git.html), which I hear is good, although still pretty new. Since this fix was easy, I'm sticking with parsecvs for now. ] >From 9c6ca141e82fae93ff173b87a27c118c5e87547c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jim Meyering <meyering@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 9 Apr 2008 11:53:29 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] avoid "git mktag" failure with newer git * git.c (git_mktag): Emit full tagger information, now that git's mktag (since git's 5fbd0a44cfee7be96fe29b9252f34b8f1bce9ac5 on 2008-04-02) is more strict about it.
