Package: cvs-fast-export Version: 1.59-1 Severity: normal File: /usr/bin/cvsconvert Tags: newcomer
Steps to reproduce: $ cd $ rm -rf d $ mkdir d $ cd d $ mkdir repo $ cvs -d $PWD/repo init $ mkdir repo/module $ export CVSROOT=$PWD/repo $ mkdir working $ cd working $ cvs co module cvs checkout: Updating module $ cd module $ echo hi >file $ cvs add file cvs add: scheduling file `file' for addition cvs add: use `cvs commit' to add this file permanently $ cvs ci -m 'add file' cvs commit: Examining . /home/ian/d/repo/module/file,v <-- file initial revision: 1.1 $ cd ~/d $ find /home/ian/d/repo/module /home/ian/d/repo/module /home/ian/d/repo/module/file,v $ cvsconvert /home/ian/d/repo/module Observed behaviour: cvsconvert: repo does not exist. Expected behaviour: Either an error message saying only relative paths are supported, or correct functioning. Additional notes: Providing the relative path didn't work for me either with a different error. I'm not sure if this ought to be another bug: $ cvsconvert repo/module fatal: You are on a branch yet to be born cvsconvert: cat repo-module.git.fi | (cd repo-module-git >/dev/null; git fast-import --quiet --done && git checkout) returned 128. I first experienced this with the version in buster, 1.44-1, which was able to handle the repo I needed to convert. I have repro'd this in a sid schroot. In practice, I think probably *fixing* this will be rather hard but it is probably easy to improve the error message. For now I am reporting this bug, if for no other reason than to help the next user.
