Good day everybody,
I'm a new disciple of GIT and eager to learn.
My current problem is, that I'd like to track an old CVS project and make my
own fork via GIT. The CVS project in question is horde[1]. My first attempt
looked like:
mkdir horde
cd horde
export CVSROOT=":pserver:cvsread@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/repository"
git-cvsimport -v -C. .
But this did not work. I only got millions of lines like
WARNING: file /repository/horde/templates/index/frames_index.inc doesn't match
strip_path /repository/CVSROOT/cfg.p. ignoring
So I imported each module separately:
MODULES="agora
ansel
chora
..."
for MODULE in $MODULES
do
git-cvsimport -v -C$MODULE $MODULE
done
This took like 2 or 3 days and now I have one git repository for each module.
But I'd rather have one big git repository containing all modules.
Could somebody give me a hint on how this could be achieved, please?
I also don't know CVS at all, because I started already with SVN. And I really
don't want to learn CVS!
How do I keep track of the CVS repository after the import and merge the
changes into my fork? Is there a way to not import the whole history, but to
start my GIT repo with the current snapshot? Would that speed up the import?
