I would like to know if there is some scripted way to do a top-skim conversion from CVS to SVN?
In the cvs2svn FAQ top-skimming is mentioned as the simplest way but one that will lose all history of the projects in CVS. http://cvs2svn.tigris.org/cvs2svn.html#convert I am fine with that, but the FAQ does not describe *how* to actually perform this kind of conversion... I have googled a lot but I find only references to the same FAQ with no detailed information... I would like to convert a number of CVS repositories such that what goes into SVN is the current HEAD in TRUNK on CVS, nothing else. But I do not want to go through all of these projects by hand and over the slow connection I have to the servers. Instead I would like to do it the way cvs2svn does it, by creating a dump file which can then be imported into an empty repository to create all of the projects there. So cvs2svn would be a good tool if it could be configured to only care for the HEAD revision in each file. But it looks like this is not the option given by the makers of cvs2svn... So is there some other type of scripting tool that can be used? The CVS and SVN repositories are on a Windows 2016 Server machine. -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden
