Hello, I am maintaining a read-only GIT mirror of the Emacs CVS repository. Here's how to access it:
web interface to the read-only public mirror: http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=emacs.git;a=summary Use this command to check out a copy of the repository (277MB)[*] git-clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/emacs.git FYI, I converted coreutils to git about a year ago and haven't looked back. Maintaining a read-only mirrored-to-cvs repository is mostly automatic. http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=coreutils.git I've been mirroring gnulib's upstream CVS to git for some time, http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnulib.git but we will soon switch to using git "upstream" and mirroring to CVS, as for coreutils. ----------- [*] the Emacs CVS repository currently weighs in at 404MB. Why bother? I'm using git for projects I control, and find that I am less and less tolerant of the abysmal (by comparison) performance of CVS and SVN, not to mention their relative dearth of functionality. As a result, I find it worthwhile to mirror projects I follow to git and to use the mirror, even if it's just to run "git pull" (rough equivalent of "cvs update") once in a while. Why/how is git better, you wonder? Because with a git repository, I have the entire history at my fingertips, "git diff" usually completes in O(1) time (it looked like magic, the first time I tried it), update-from-remote is much faster than with CVS. Most day to day commands touch only the local disk -- no network access required. The only reason to use the net is to "git-push" (i.e commit/publish) your changes, and of course, to pull changes from others. Using git makes off-line development feasible, and since branches have minimal cost, the idea of developing on "topic branches" is finally catching on. -=---------------------------- How frequently do I sync the mirror? Currently it's only manual, whenever I think about it, but it'd be trivial to automate to run say every 20min. -=---------------------------- How did I set it up? I ran the script below. The first time, it took many hours (somewhere between 5 and 7 just to perform the all-local cvs->git conversion). Each subsequent run takes just a few minutes. The only hard part was in constructing the cvs-commit-username -> [real-name,email] map (called umap-final, below). More than half of those entries were derived using heuristics applied to emacs' own cvs logs and ChangeLog files, others came from savannah's mysql DB (thanks to Sylvain Beucler for that idea), and the rest I looked up more or less manually. So if something is wrong, let me know. I've included it below. -=---------------------------- Why do I prefer git over mercurial? I wrote that up here: http://meyering.net/dVCS Jim ---------- #!/bin/bash # Sync a local git repository from a remote emacs CVS repository. # Omit the cvs config file, so its rules don't interfere. cvs_config_file=emacs/CVSROOT/config cvs_hist_file=emacs/CVSROOT/history rsync -aivz --progress \ --delete \ --delete-excluded \ --exclude=MODULES.html,v \ --exclude=$cvs_config_file \ --exclude=$cvs_hist_file \ rsync://cvs.sv.gnu.org:/sources/emacs emacs-rsync \ | tee rsync-log # If there are no changed files, stop right away. grep '^>' rsync-log || exit 0 # We've omitted the config file, but it's expected.
