Re: cvs2git Thanks

Let me also take this opportunity to say thanks a lot for this tool too

I used it around 1.5 years ago to convert several CVS repositories to git. =
The largest repository was 7 GB in size.

We haven't had any problems with the converted git, repos but kept the CVS =
server as achieve. Never had a need to start it up since then though.

thank you

Thanks All,

I successfully converted over a dozen cvs repos to git repos. One repo was =
2.4GiB with 4 years of history.
I used Ubuntu 14 on Parallels 10, as after I managed to get everything work=
ing using macports I hit a key/value table maximum size issue which I could=
n't be bothered with.

I used the simple commands below (based on your instructions) for each conv=
ersion. Example was rxtx-devel repo.

Cheers,
Graham
