I have not used cvs2svn myself but suggested it and have seen it being used at my previous place of work (moving ~10 years of CVS history to svn and it went fine though I was told of issues in doing an incremental update. They ended up doing a one time conversion and stopped usage of CVS. Like a flip switch approach!). > Have you tried one or more of these and failed? Well, the point is to have a branch where the main author can push and I could pull. I can always have a patch queue (as in mercurial) or do it through some extra wizardry in git. I do not want to get into merging changes that are not mine and mess up and start reporting problems that are truly my own. Off topic: I have tried tailor, since I work on p4 at work, I have tried git-p4 and have developed my very own p4 to hg. I find tailor to be very flaky. Like you correctly mentioned in a different thread that it needs care, I ran out of patience. However, I did contribute a minor fix to make it work with newer hg (sometime back). To summarize, based on my experience, I find tools that are part of git are quite robust (among the few I have used or tested). -dhruva -- Contents reflect my personal views only!
