Hello all, I have 450,000 files in a folder that need to be imported into cvs. The server is linux. We're migrating from another source control system.
The files were developed on Windows and have windows eol's. When I try to import anything "cvs import" I get a bad error: cvs [import aborted]: received abort signal cvs: /usr/local/src/cvs-1.11.21-v3/src/import.c:610: process_import_file: Assertion `entdata->options[0] == '-' && entdata->options[1] == 'k'' failed. That's not even the 450,000 files. Googling has not explained that error. I zipped up a smaller directory and copied it onto a linux box. I ran the import there and it worked fine, but I ended up with eol issues when I checked back out onto windows. I assumed tht would happen but I thought just maybe an import would just stick the files in there and we'd be on our way. I still have to understand tht issue, but IIRC it's that the windows checkout ends up with \n's replaced with \r\n (so we have \r\r\n instead of \r\n)??? So to summarize the windows client blows and I can't just use linux. How can I check in half-a-million files into cvs? Scripting a recursive add-and-commit is also giving me trouble.
