EGL CVS repository migration

  • 1.  EGL CVS repository migration

    Posted Sun November 24, 2019 02:57 AM

    Hello,

    My project has its EGL source code in the CVS repository for a long time.

    And now we wanted to move to a different SCM preferrably Git repository.. Have anyone done migration from a CVS repository earlier, if yes, please let me know. I would like to know the standard steps done for doing this to get all the commit history and changes from the repository.

     

    Incase if you want to suggest me a different repository and if you have tried that from CVS, please let me know.

    Thanks in Advance.

    I think this is a general problem for cvs to git migration no matter what programming language the projects are.There is nothing special for the EGL source. So it is possible to search in the internet for the information. I find a stackoverflow thread https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20869710/migrate-from-cvs-to-git-without-losing-history that may be helpful.
