Package: git-cvs Version: 1:1.5.4.1-1 Severity: normal After having cleaned up an imported CVS repo, deleting branches that have been merged back (and one or two that had been created by mistake), I tried running cvsimport again. I was a bit surprised to see it recreate all the branches I had deleted (though I can understand why it would do so).
The real issue, though, is that cvsimport re-creates these old branches over the *current* state of the parent branch. (Moving tags in the process, which is the one area in git where fixing mistakes is a PITA.) Seems to me that cvsimport should check the timestamps and/or patchset numbers, and either refuse to create an older commit from a newer one, or perform a checkout to the appropriate branch point beforehand. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (1001, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.18 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages git-cvs depends on: ii cvsps 2.1-4 Tool to generate CVS patch set inf ii git-core 1:1.5.4.1-1 fast, scalable, distributed revisi ii libdbd-sqlite3-perl 1.14-1 Perl DBI driver with a self-contai git-cvs recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
