I must confess that I went straight with the takeover, neglecting the
possibility of importing the old revision history.
I am willing to fix that, even at the expense of rebasing the now
published git repository. Better now than later.
Here's what I tried:
git cvsimport -d_anoncvs@anoncvs.mirbsd.org:/cvs -C new-git -u \
-k -v -A AUTHORS contrib/hosted/tg/deb/libbsd-arc4random-perl
The resulting Git repository is at
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=users/dmn/cvs-imported.git
This gave me 39 commits, the earliest of which is:
move:
• mircvs://contrib/hosted/p5/BSD/arc4random/Makefile.PL.diff
‣ mircvs://contrib/hosted/tg/deb/libbsd-arc4random-perl/debian/diffs/
• mircvs://contrib/hosted/p5/BSD/arc4random/debian/
‣ mircvs://contrib/hosted/tg/deb/libbsd-arc4random-perl/debian/
reason: this shan’t be a Debian-native package
This suggested that there's additional history that I'd like to have,
but retrieving it fails:
$ git cvsimport -d_anoncvs@anoncvs.mirbsd.org:/cvs -C p5-git -u -k \
-v -A AUTHORS contrib/hosted/p5/BSD/arc4random

Perhaps git-cvsimport is not happy about the module rename or the
history is just not available anymore.
Does anybody have ideas how to import that history too?
If not I guess I'll proceed with what I have so far.
Thanks,
