2006-02-22Introducing git-cvsserver -- a CVS emulator for git.Libravatar Martin Langhoff1-0/+89
git-cvsserver is highly functional. However, not all methods are implemented, and for those methods that are implemented, not all switches are implemented. All the common read operations are implemented, and add/remove/commit are supported. Testing has been done using both the CLI CVS client, and the Eclipse CVS plugin. Most functionality works fine with both of these clients. Currently git-cvsserver only works over SSH connections, see the Documentation for more details on how to configure your client. It does not support pserver for anonymous access but it should not be hard to implement. Anonymous access will need tighter input validation. In our very informal tests, it seems to be significantly faster than a real CVS server. This utility depends on a version of git-cvsannotate that supports -S and on DBD::SQLite. Licensed under GPLv2.
