Basically, I would like to mirror a CVS repository (that I don't control) as a git "main" branch. This CVS repository is live and expected to remain so. I would then work on another git branch and would do merges from the main branch to mine as I see fit to develop some stuff. Is there anything like that? Basically, I'm looking for the equivalent of Tailor for Mercurial. --- As a second question... Are there any good websites that can host a git repository? Something equivalent to sourceforge but for git. -- Gonzalo Garramuño ggarra@advancedsl.com.ar AMD4400 - ASUS48N-E GeForce7300GT Xubuntu Gutsy ``` ## Pascal Obry, 2007-12-21 20:46 Subject: Re: cvs -> git tools?

I'm no expert on this, maybe cvsimport. I'll let other answer. http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-cvsimport.html > As a second question... > > Are there any good websites that can host a git repository?

There are many CVS -> git tools: git-cvsimport (uses cvsps), parsecvs (accesses ,v files directly), fromcvs (in Ruby), cvs2svn development branch. But I think only git-cvsimport allows incremental import. Another solution would be to set Git repository as a fake CVS repository using git-cvsserver (now with beginning of authenticated pserver access!). -- Jakub Narebski Poland ShadeHawk on #git ``` ## Jakub Narebski, 2007-12-21 22:07 Subject: Re: cvs -> git tools?

But I think only git-cvsimport allows incremental import. there is also gc-utils (http://sf.net/projects/gcutils) which wraps git-cvsimport and git-cvsexportcommit to make commiting back into CVS a little bit easier. ```
