Package: cvsps Version: 2.1-6 Severity: important I have been trying all night to import a CVS repo into git using git's cvsimport which uses cvsp. Importing fails.
fatal: Not a valid object name refs/remotes/origin/cvs/branch--merge After some bughunting I found that it fails due to cvsps reporting the wrong ancestor branch for a branch in my CVS repo. I have found a patch (by Linus Torvalds!) for cvsps which fixes my problem. However this patch is not in upstream cvsps, but in a repository by Yann Dirson (who I am CCing as he might have further input on this patch and others). The patch that I'd like for Debian to add until cvsps includes it or something similar is: http://repo.or.cz/w/cvsps-yd.git/commitdiff/4e3aa38681c849d6931dd56d958fff6abf3ea38e And the entire repository is also available: http://repo.or.cz/w/cvsps-yd.git / Sebastian PS. I chose to set the severity to "important" since a bug in cvsps breaks the package git-cvs. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
