Hi,

I've tried using git-cvsserver, but keep running into problems: When doing a checkout, it only checks out a small subset of the total amount of files in the repository and reports a warning/error. When doing a subsequent update, it doesn't seem to do anything, but reports two error messages/warnings.

I'm using yesterdays GIT and try to serve my local copy of the GIT repository using git-cvsserver.

export CVSROOT=:ext:takis@localhost:/usr/local/src/git/.git export CVS_SERVER=git-cvsserver

takis@issaris:/tmp/a/b$ cvs co -d project-master master takis@localhost's password: cvs checkout: Updating project-master U project-master/Makefile U project-master/README U project-master/cache.h U project-master/cat-file.c U project-master/commit-tree.c U project-master/init-db.c U project-master/read-cache.c U project-master/read-tree.c U project-master/show-diff.c U project-master/update-cache.c U project-master/write-tree.c closing dbh with active statement handles takis@issaris:/tmp/a/b$ cd project-master/ takis@issaris:/tmp/a/b/project-master$ cvs -z3 update -PAd takis@localhost's password: server doesn't support gzip-file-contents closing dbh with active statement handles takis@issaris:/tmp/a/b/project-master$

With friendly regards, Takis
