git-cvsimport-script(1)
=======================
v0.1, July 2005
NAME
----
git-cvsimport-script - Import a CVS repository into git
SYNOPSIS
--------
'git-cvsimport-script' [ -o <branch-for-HEAD> ] [ -h ] [ -v ]
[ -d <CVSROOT> ] [ -p <options-for-cvsps> ]
<CVS_module> [ <GIT_repository> ]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
Imports a CVS repository into git. It will either create a new
repository, or incrementally import into an existing one.
Spitting the CVS log into patch sets is done by 'cvsps'.
At least version 2.1 is required.
OPTIONS
-------
-d <CVSROOT>::
The root of the CVS archive. May be local (a simple path) or remote;
currently, only the :pserver: access method is supported.
-o <branch-for-HEAD>::
The 'HEAD' branch from CVS is imported to the 'origin' branch within
the git repository, as 'HEAD' already has a special meaning for git.
Use this option if you want to import into a different branch.
Use '-o master' for continuing an import that was initially done by
the old cvs2git tool.
-p <options-for-cvsps>::
Additional options for cvsps.
The options '-x' and '-A' are implicit and should not be used here.
If you need to pass multiple options, separate them with a comma.
-v::
Verbosity: let 'cvsimport' report what it is doing.
<CVS_module>::
The CVS module you want to import. Relative to <CVSROOT>.
<type>::
Typically this matches the real type of <object> but asking
for a type that can trivially dereferenced from the given
<object> is also permitted. An example is to ask for a
"tree" with <object> being a commit object that contains it,
or to ask for a "blob" with <object> being a tag object that
points at it.
-h::
Print a short usage message and exit.
OUTPUT
------
If '-v' is specified, the script reports what it is doing.
Otherwise, success is indicated the Unix way, i.e. by simply exiting with
a zero exit status.
