I must confess that I went straight with the takeover, neglecting the possibility of importing the old revision history. I am willing to fix that, even at the expense of rebasing the now published git repository. Better now than later. Here's what I tried: git cvsimport -d_anon...@anoncvs.mirbsd.org:/cvs -C new-git -u \ -k -v -A AUTHORS contrib/hosted/tg/deb/libbsd-arc4random-perl The resulting Git repository is at http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=users/dmn/cvs-imported.git This gave me 39 commits, the earliest of which is: move: • mircvs://contrib/hosted/p5/BSD/arc4random/Makefile.PL.diff ‣ mircvs://contrib/hosted/tg/deb/libbsd-arc4random-perl/debian/diffs/ • mircvs://contrib/hosted/p5/BSD/arc4random/debian/ ‣ mircvs://contrib/hosted/tg/deb/libbsd-arc4random-perl/debian/ reason: this shan’t be a Debian-native package This suggested that there's additional history that I'd like to have, but retrieving it fails: $ git cvsimport -d_anon...@anoncvs.mirbsd.org:/cvs -C p5-git -u -k \ -v -A AUTHORS contrib/hosted/p5/BSD/arc4random Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/1-dam/p5-git/.git/ Running cvsps... cvs_direct initialized to CVSROOT /cvs cvs rlog: Logging contrib/hosted/p5/BSD/arc4random WARNING: branch_add already set!

Does anybody have ideas how to import that history too? If not I guess I'll proceed with what I have so far. Thanks, dam
