https://gitorious.org/cvsps Developments of the last 48 hours: 1. Andreas Schwab sent me a patch that uses commitids wherever the history has them - this makes all the time-skew problems go away. I added code to warn if commitids aren't present, so users will get a clear indication of when time-skew problems might bite them versus when that is happily impossible. 2. I've scrapped a lot of obsolete code and options. The repo head version uses what used to be called cvs-direct mode all the time now; it works, and the effect on performance is major. This also means that cvsps doesn't need to use any local CVS commands or even have CVS installed where it runs. > >From my past cvs conversion experiences my personal guess is that > cvs2svn will win this competition. That could be. But right now cvsps has one significant advantage over cvs2git (which parsecvs might share) - it's *blazingly* fast. So fast that I scrapped all the local-caching logic; there seems no point to it at today's network speeds, and that's one less layer of complications to go wrong. I've removed a couple hundred lines of code and the program works better and faster than it did before. That's having a good day! -- <a href="http://www.catb.org/~esr/";>Eric S.
