Hi,

Thanks for all the patches! The changes to support CVSNT, in particular,
have been requested by a lot of people and are especially welcome.

To make it easier for myself and other people to see your patches, I
just pushed versions to the GitHub mirror of the repository [1], as the
following branches:

A: sags/rcsparse-newphrases
B: sags/cvsnt-modes
C: sags/svntest-alignment
D: sags/cvs2git-default-eol
E: sags/exclude-path

It would be great if you could commit using your real name so that we
know who you are and can give you credit for the work, and please
confirm that you are OK with your work being released under the license
found in COPYING.

I looked at series E and pushed another commit on top if it that I think
makes it fit better into the code. Please let me know what you think.

Before these changes can get merged, they need some tests to show that
they work and to prevent regressions after future changes.

The easiest way to test the "--exclude-path" option would be to convert
an existing test repo, like "main", using

    args=3D['--exclude-path=3Dsingle-files/twoquick,v']

and then assert that the path doesn't exist in the output repository
with something like

    if conv.path_exists('trunk', 'single-files', 'twoquick'):
      raise Failure()

There are lots of examples in run-tests.py that you can imitate.

Thanks,
Michael
