git-cvsserver: Index already exists in git repo

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

 



Hi

I'm using git-cvsimport (with -i) to import an existing repository, which I 
then clone for development. Now, we have some guys here that'd rather 
continue to use the Eclipse CVS plug-in than working directly with Git, so I 
thought I could tell them to try git-cvsserver.

Now, git-cvsserver complains about an existing index file in the server 
repository. If I just remove the index file on the server, everything seems 
to work just fine. But 'rm .git/index'  just doesn't feel right... what I 
understand so far: the index file seems to contain information about the 
files in the tree, but it doesn't exist in a bare repository. So, is there a 
way to 'convert' a repository to a bare repository so that git-cvsimport and 
git-cvsserver still work on it? Or, how would you do it?

Thanks!

Mirko
