file versions.
This allows you to do the conversion (although slowly) from
a remote repository, and besides, it's one less thing to worry
about when you don't need to look up the CVS Attic directories
etc.
We need to quote backslash and backtick too.
And inform the user about our progress, since converting a
big archive can take time. Doing the full mutt history took
just under eight minutes.
This should also mean that the conversion is now completely
defined by the CVS tree, and that two people doing a cvs2git
conversion on the same base will always get the same results
regardless of when or in what timezone they do it.
This escapes '$' characters in <<-handling, and gives preference to
the new branch when cvsps incorrectly reports a commit as originating
on an old branch.
.. and tell 'co' to shut up about the rcs noise.
This still leaves some branch issues up in the air: it looks like
cvsps has some questionable originating branch information, but I
don't know whether that's a cvsps bug or an actual bug in the
syslinux archive I'm using to test.
I'll let David Mansfield answer my questions about CVS. I'm a
total idiot when it comes to branches under CVS ("I'm pure!").
It's very hacky, and it needs lots of work, but it seems to have converted
Peter's "syslinux" archive successfully. Whether the end result is correct
or not is to be seen.
Tons of work still to do: do name conversion properly, and do tags etc.
And testing. Lots of testing.
