<html><head></head><body><div style="font-family: Verdana;font-size: 12.0px;"><div> <div style="font-family: Verdana;font-size: 12.0px;"> <div>Dear all,</div> <div>currently I am working on a CVS migration to SVN for a fairly large project and after a successful run I realized that the merge information of branches towards the trunk are lost, i.e. there is no information left that changes originated from commits on a branch and were merged back to the trunk. I stumbled across a post on stackoverflow (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/632729/cvs2svn-and-merge-info) where Michael stated that it is not possible to migrate such information as CVS does not have them. I hope I got it right.</div> <div> </div> <div>Nevertheless and just for clarification, as I have to report to any disadvantages of the cvs/svn migration, where do IDE like Eclipse and Intellij draw this merge information from if not from cvs itself. Both are capable of showing the history of commits in a tree-like manner, e.g. when being on the head and you take a look on the history of a particular file that has been used on head and branch and finally merged back it shows something similar to</div> <div> </div> <div>* 1.13 some change on head</div> <div> - 1.13.6.1 some change on branch</div> <div> - 1.13.6.2 another change on branch</div> <div>* 1.14 merge of branch</div> <div> </div> <div>Are these informations based on heuristics that are too weak to be considered for the migration or are these informations hidden in the repos metadata and are not accessible yet and could be addressed in a later version of cvs2svn.</div> <div> </div> Lots of thanks for those who can give any advice.</div> </div></div></body></html> ------------------------------------------------------ http://cvs2svn.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=1670&dsMessageId=3053265 To unsubscribe from this discussion, e-mail: [[email protected]].
