Hi everyone
I'd like to clone a CVS repository to a local machine in order to prepare it for a migration to git. I tried:
$git cvsimport -p x -v -d :pserver:mylogin@cvs-server:/cvs/cvsrepository cvsmodule AuthReply: I HATE YOU $git cvsimport -p x -v -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs-server:/cvs/cvsrepository cvsmodule AuthReply: E Fatal error, aborting.
I haven't found much info concerning the 'I HATE YOU'. So I'd like to ask you if I'm right: (I can't talk about this with my cvs-server administrator. He's a kind of dumb)
- git cvsimport works only using 'anonymous' account. So my real login name won't work? - 'AuthReply: E Fatal error, aborting.' means that the cvs-server does not accept anonymous connections?
Is there any other way how to get the cvs repository to my local machine?
thx a lot
Bost
