The code has no\nknown bugs, but is has only seen limited use by in-house dev teams.\n\nA good measure is to run an import of the current cvs project (I would\ntry both git-cvsimport and parsecvs) and then get a checkout via\ngit-cvsserver.\n\nWorks great with traditional cvs cli and well behaved clients (TortoiseCVS).\n\n> am I remembering correctly, and are these tools ready for production use?\n> the popfile project is getting ready to abandon sourceforge and move to\n> self-hosting, but before I suggest that they use git I need to know the\n> current status of these projects (I think the ability to export directly\n> into the other interfaces is a significant advantage)\n\nMoodle (a project I hack on) is in a similar situation, specially\nafter the SF.net debacle with CVS. It is very likely that it will move\nto git with git-cvsserver providing \"anon cvs\" and cvs over ssh to a\nvery limited set of people with commit rights but no development\nknowledge (translators, etc). So there is a path forward.\n\ncheers,\n\n\n\nmartin\n"},{"id":"20067","messageId":"e4cli6$abe$1@sea.gmane.org","threadId":"4151","inReplyTo":"Pine.LNX.4.62.0605151122500.29452@qynat.qvtvafvgr.pbz","subject":"Re: gateway status?","fromName":"Jakub Narebski","fromEmail":"jnareb@gmail.com","sentAt":"2006-05-16T13:54:14Z","receivedAt":"2006-05-16T13:54:14Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"jnareb@gmail.com","avatar":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/2706?v=4"},"body":"David Lang wrote:\n\n> I seem to remember seeing discussion of gateways to cvs/svn that would let \n> a project use a git repository and allow clients to use cvs/svn clients to \n> retreive data.\n> \n> am I remembering correctly, and are these tools ready for production use? \n\n\nEric Wong wrote:\nin \"[0/2 PATCH] git-svn 1.0.0 release\" thread\nhttp://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/19644\n\n> It's been very solid for a long time now.  I haven't run into\n> any problems with it myself in a while, and no critical bugs\n> that I know of exist.  Labeling it 1.0.0 may make it look\n> less scary to new users :)\n\nSo I guess yes, they are.\n\n\nP.S.
