[PATCH] cvsimport: add test illustrating a bug in cvsps

From: Heiko Voigt <git-list@hvoigt.net>
Date: Feb 23, 2009, 18:49 UTC
Message-ID: <49A2EFC6.5000104@hvoigt.net>

Some cvs repositories may have time deviations in their recorded commits. This is a test for one of such cases. These kind of repositories can happen if the system time of cvs clients is not fully synchronised.

Consider the following sequence of events:

 * client A commits file a r1.1
 * client A commits file a r1.2, b r1.1
 * client B commits file b r1.2 using the same timestamp as a r1.1

This can be resolved but due to cvsps grouping its patchsets solely based on the timestamp and never breaking these groups it outputs the wrong order which then leads to a broken import.

I hit this bug when importing from a real repository which was originally converted from another rcs based scm. Other import tools can handle this correctly, e.g. parsecvs. ---

As this is my first real patch, please let me know if I added anything to the wrong place. There is actually another bug depending on timings which I haven't written a testcase for yet. It is not such a showstopper but cvsps skips revisions from a file if they have the same commit message and fit into the same time window.

cheers Heiko
