| 18 | DESCRIPTION | |
| 19 | ----------- | |
| 20 | Imports a CVS repository into git. It will either create a new | |
| 21 | repository, or incrementally import into an existing one. | |
| 22 | ||
| 1cd3674a | 23 | Splitting the CVS log into patch sets is done by 'cvsps'. |
| f2114060 MU |
24 | At least version 2.1 is required. |
| 25 | ||
| 26 | OPTIONS | |
| 27 | ------- | |
| 28 | -d <CVSROOT>:: | |
| 29 | The root of the CVS archive. May be local (a simple path) or remote; | |
| 34155390 SV |
30 | currently, only the :local:, :ext: and :pserver: access methods |
| 31 | are supported. | |
| f2114060 | 32 | |
| b0921331 DK |
33 | -C <target-dir>:: |
| 34 | The GIT repository to import to. If the directory doesn't | |
| 35 | exist, it will be created. Default is the current directory. | |
| 36 | ||
| c1c774e7 SV |
37 | -i:: |
| 38 | Import-only: don't perform a checkout after importing. This option | |
| 39 | ensures the working directory and cache remain untouched and will | |
| 40 | not create them if they do not exist. | |
| 41 | ||
| abe05822 ML |
42 | -k:: |
| 43 | Kill keywords: will extract files with -kk from the CVS archive | |
| 44 | to avoid noisy changesets. Highly recommended, but off by default | |
| 45 | to preserve compatibility with early imported trees. | |
| 46 | ||
| f2114060 MU |
47 | -o <branch-for-HEAD>:: |
| 48 | The 'HEAD' branch from CVS is imported to the 'origin' branch within | |
| 49 | the git repository, as 'HEAD' already has a special meaning for git. | |
| 50 | Use this option if you want to import into a different branch. | |
| 51 | ||
| 52 | Use '-o master' for continuing an import that was initially done by | |
| 53 | the old cvs2git tool. | |
| 54 | ||
| 55 | -p <options-for-cvsps>:: | |
| 56 | Additional options for cvsps. | |
| b0921331 | 57 | The options '-u' and '-A' are implicit and should not be used here. |
| f2114060 MU |
58 | |
| 59 | If you need to pass multiple options, separate them with a comma. | |
| 60 | ||
| 61 | -v:: | |
| 62 | Verbosity: let 'cvsimport' report what it is doing. | |
| 63 | ||
| 64 | <CVS_module>:: | |
| 65 | The CVS module you want to import. Relative to <CVSROOT>. | |
| 66 | ||
| f2114060 MU |
67 | -h:: |
| 68 | Print a short usage message and exit. | |
| 69 | ||
| b0921331 DK |
70 | -z <fuzz>:: |
| 71 | Pass the timestamp fuzz factor to cvsps. | |
| 72 | ||
| fbfd60d6 JS |
73 | -s <subst>:: |
| 74 | Substitute the character "/" in branch names with <subst> | |
| 75 | ||
| f2114060 MU |
76 | OUTPUT |
| 77 | ------ | |
| 78 | If '-v' is specified, the script reports what it is doing. | |
| 79 | ||
| 80 | Otherwise, success is indicated the Unix way, i.e. by simply exiting with | |
| 81 | a zero exit status. | |
