2007-06-15cvsserver: Actually implement --export-allLibravatar Frank Lichtenheld1-1/+2
Embarrassing bug number two in my options patch. Also enforce that --export-all is only ever used together with an explicit whitelist. Otherwise people might export every git repository on the whole system without realising. Signed-off-by: Frank Lichtenheld <frank@lichtenheld.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2007-06-08cvsserver: Add some useful commandline optionsLibravatar Frank Lichtenheld1-0/+42
Make git-cvsserver understand some options inspired by git-daemon, namely --base-path, --export-all, --strict-paths. Also allow the caller to specify a whitelist of allowed directories, again similar to git-daemon. While already adding option parsing also support the common --help and --version options. Rationale: While the gitcvs.enabled configuration option already offers means to limit git-cvsserver access to a repository, there are some use cases where other methods of access control prove to be more useful. E.g. if setting up a pserver for a collection of public repositories one might want limit the exported repositories to exactly the directory this collection is located whithout having to worry about other repositories that might lie around with the configuration variable set (never trust your users ;) Signed-off-by: Frank Lichtenheld <frank@lichtenheld.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2007-05-29cvsserver: Note that CVS_SERVER can also be specified as method variableLibravatar Frank Lichtenheld1-1/+11
Reasonably new versions of the cvs CLI client allow one to specifiy CVS_SERVER as a method variable directly in CVSROOT. This is way more convinient than using an environment variable since it gets saved in CVS/Root. Since I only discovered this by accident I guess there might be others out there that learnt CVS on the 1.11 series (or even earlier) and profit from such a note about cvs improvements in the last couple years.

2007-05-29cvsserver: Correct inetd.conf example in asciidoc documentationLibravatar Frank Lichtenheld1-3/+5
While the given example worked, it made us look rather incompetent. Give the correct reason why one needs the more complex syntax and change the example to reflect that. Signed-off-by: Frank Lichtenheld <frank@lichtenheld.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2007-04-12cvsserver: Document the GIT branches -> CVS modules mapping more prominentlyLibravatar Frank Lichtenheld1-0/+4
Add a note about the branches -> modules mapping to LIMITATIONS because I really think it should be noted there and not just at the end of the installation step-by-step HOWTO. I used "git branches" there and changed "heads" to "branches" in my section about database configuration. I'm reluctant to replace all occourences of "head" with "branch" though because you always have to say "git branch" because CVS also has the concept of branches. You can say "head" though, because there is no such concept in CVS. In all the existing occourences of head other than the one I changed I think "head" flows better in the text.

2007-03-31cvsserver: Don't lie about binary mode in asciidoc documentationLibravatar Frank Lichtenheld1-3/+5
The git-cvsserver documentation claims that the server will set -k modes if appropriate which is not really the case. On the other hand the available gitcvs.allbinary variable is not documented at all. Fix both these issues by rewording the related paragraph.

2006-03-01cvsserver: add notes on how to get a checkout under EclipseLibravatar Martin Langhoff1-0/+24
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.
