The following questions come to mind:
- You imported from the Pike SVN repository; how up to date was/is that and do you now have all the information from SVN into git?
it is about a year old. however updating it using cvsimport was easy and did not take to long. when i get some time after the conference i'll publish the updated repo.
I'll have a go at it as well then, I just imported the Roxen tree through cvsimport, only took about 2 hours (over the net) and the resulting repo is 22MB roughly. You can't imagine how much of a relief it was to notice that importing didn't barf on the Swedish characters sometimes in the logs and/or files (this was an absolute nightmare when trying to convert to SVN/SVK).
- In order to track changes and/or push back changes I enter into my personal git, I should be tracking the CVS (bidirectionally), anyone tried that starting with the git you provided?
however after that updating with cvsimport again seemed to cause some issues, but i am not sure what the reason is. i think cvsimport just recognizes that i already have the commit (since i made it) and does not update the branch.
You checked it into the origin branch? Maybe you should not be checking it into origin, but push it upstream without doing that, then let cvsimport pull it again. I'll look into it as well.
