I'm trying to move my dhcpcd git repository [1] to fossil [2]. While it works for the most part, it seems that the branches called "trunk" and "dhcpcd-5" have the same commits, which is just wrong.
By adding a commit to the dhcpcd-5 branch in git, exporting and then importing into fossil it now seems to work. I can live with that, as the commit is kinda valid using a more recent compiler than when the branch was done. I did this in different repos - dhcpcd-test, so the initial links are still valid incase anyone wants to debug this. I'll be doing that in the main repo tomorrow so I can move forward, but I'll make a backup first and post the link here incase someone really does want to fix it.
I also exported it back to git and aside from committer name and the branch names having _ instead of say a . or a - it looks good. I assume the branch renaming is some kind of bug because the branch names look fine in fossil itself. A less important issue is that there seems to be no tie between "trunk" and git master in the fresh export (ie the git repo looks blank aside from the branch content).
Lastly, before I dive into the fossil code to try and address the branch name export issue, does anyone know how fossil handles user names on import/export? Ideally I'd like to preserve the My Name <m...@name.org> in my current git repo @ import and also show this @ export.
