But it can be used as a test case for all the cvs to git converter. Even ViewVC and ViewCVS doesn't work with this repository. Any help in converting it to git ? rsync -av rsync://ci-linux.cvs.sourceforge.net/cvsroot/ci-linux/ci/ ci-linux/ci/ -aneesh ``` ## Lars Johannsen, 2006-05-25 14:04 Subject: Re: parsecvs fails Message-ID: <20060525140437.GA19919@mail.Lars-Johannsen.dk> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20060525140437.GA19919%40mail.Lars-Johannsen.dk In-Reply-To: ``` On (25/05/06 17:02), Aneesh Kumar wrote: > The tagging used by the repository given below is quiet complex. > But it can be used as a test case for all the cvs to git converter. > Even ViewVC and ViewCVS doesn't work with this repository. > > Any help in converting it to git ? > > rsync -av rsync://ci-linux.cvs.sourceforge.net/cvsroot/ci-linux/ci/ > ci-linux/ci/ > > -aneesh Well it seems like most of your ,v files contains tags refering to version 1 and yet the first version in the files is 1.1 So to fix for parsecvs ( and maybe for viewcvs) i think you need to fix all symbols at 'top of file' for all ,v files. Change from v1 to v1.1 with something like sed ',/@#/s/:1*$/:1.1/;,/@#/s/:1;*$/:1.1;/' -- Lars ```
