I found a post on the net stating that CVSROOT directory *is* necessary but that cvs2svn does not use any info therein during conversion. See: http://tigris-scm.10930.n7.nabble.com/Is-CVSROOT-dir-mandatory-when-using-cvs2svn-td57397.html However, I believe that I need to use the flag --use-cvs in order to parse the CVSNT repository properly and this might mean that cvs itself will use CVSROOT for something. And then I have the problem of stuffing projects from the 6 different repositories into SVN: Which CVSROOT should be used during conversion? Or can all of them be there at the same time? CVSNT specific stuff: --------------------- I realized that I have used one CVSNT specific item and this is the keyword -kbx, which means that some binary files have been marked as binary with the exclusive editing flag. Typically this involves Microsoft Office documents and PDF:s, which we did not want any two persons simultaneously editing since they could not be merged. Can cvs2svn deal with the -kbx keyword, for example by treating it as -kb? Or will these files be in any way corrupted by the conversion? -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden
