It will either create a new +repository, or incrementally import into an existing one. + +Spitting the CVS log into patch sets is done by 'cvsps'. +At least version 2.1 is required. + +OPTIONS +------- +-d :: + The root of the CVS archive. May be local (a simple path) or remote; + currently, only the :pserver: access method is supported. + +-o :: + The 'HEAD' branch from CVS is imported to the 'origin' branch within + the git repository, as 'HEAD' already has a special meaning for git. + Use this option if you want to import into a different branch. + + Use '-o master' for continuing an import that was initially done by + the old cvs2git tool. + +-p :: + Additional options for cvsps. + The options '-x' and '-A' are implicit and should not be used here. + + If you need to pass multiple options, separate them with a comma. + +-v:: + Verbosity: let 'cvsimport' report what it is doing. + +:: + The CVS module you want to import. Relative to . + +:: + Typically this matches the real type of but asking + for a type that can trivially dereferenced from the given + is also permitted. An example is to ask for a + "tree" with being a commit object that contains it, + or to ask for a "blob" with being a tag object that + points at it. + +-h:: + Print a short usage message and exit. + +OUTPUT +------ +If '-v' is specified, the script reports what it is doing. + +Otherwise, success is indicated the Unix way, i.e. by simply exiting with +a zero exit status. + + +Author +------ +Written by Matthias Urlichs , with help from +various participants of the git-list . + +Documentation +-------------- +Documentation by Matthias Urlichs . + +GIT +--- +Part of the link:git.html[git] suite +
