Description: fast, scalable, distributed revision control system (cvs interoperability)
Git is popular version control system designed to handle very large
projects with speed and efficiency; it is used for many high profile
open source projects, most notably the Linux kernel.
.
Git falls in the category of distributed source code management tools.
Every Git working directory is a full-fledged repository with full
revision tracking capabilities, not dependent on network access or a
central server.
.
This package provides the git cvsimport, cvsexportcommit, and cvsserver
tools, which allow Git to read from and write to CVS repositories and
offer access over CVS protocol to Git repositories.
.
The git cvsimport tool can incrementally import from a repository that
is being actively developed and only requires remote access over CVS
protocol. Unfortunately, in many situations the import leads to
incorrect results. For reliable, one-shot imports, cvs2git from the
cvs2svn package or parsecvs may be a better fit.
