Announcement: cvs2svn 2.3.0 released

Michael Haggerty· Aug 22, 2009, 22:44 UTC · lore

I am happy to announce release 2.3.0 of cvs2svn/cvs2git/cvs2bzr.

cvs2svn is a tool for migrating a CVS repository to Subversion, git, Bazaar, or Mercurial. The main design goals are robustness and 100% data preservation. cvs2svn can convert just about any CVS repository we've ever seen, including gcc, Mozilla, FreeBSD, KDE, and GNOME.

Release 2.3.0 primarily improves the support for converting to git and Bazaar (including explicit cvs2git and cvs2bzr scripts). This release also adds a few other minor features and fixes a bug when converting to git with non-inline blobs.

More detailed information is available in the CHANGES file [1].

Note to packagers: Beginning with this release, the man pages for the main scripts are generated automatically by running the script with the "--man" option (e.g., "cvs2svn --man >cvs2svn.1") or by executing "make man". The tarball does *not* include the man pages anymore.

You can get the tarball here: http://cvs2svn.tigris.org/files/documents/1462/46528/cvs2svn-2.3.0.tar.gz

The MD5 checksum is 6c412baec974f3ff64b9145944682a15.

Please send any bug reports and comments to users@cvs2svn.tigris.org.

Michael

Does it support incremental operation yet? (I.e. do not bother to re-import what was imported already?)

Thanks, Dscho

No, sorry, incremental conversion is not likely to be developed in the absence of new volunteers or sponsorship. (But I'd be happy to help a willing volunteer get started!)
