Hi, We have a 9-yr old CVS repository with binary files and files with non-english characters in files / file names. A compressed package of repository measures 1 GB.
As usual, we have difficult time managing branches with CVS. I want to propose fossil as next SCM. Please guide me how do I convert CVS repository to fossil, preserving history and branches / tags. Please laso let me know if there is anyway we can controll access on one or more folders in source tree. I know it is difficult in distributed SCM, but we have IP code from 3rd parties which we need to control access. WIth CVS we are handling this using aliases / links. Any help is appriciated. - Altu > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "D.
