We have an old RCS repository with lots of useful data in it.
Okay, a love for your data is healthy and normal ;).
I have no love for this data, and no one else does either, but we're
stuck with it. For instance, here's a check-in comment from 2008:
"help me i am dyuing. help me I an choking on c code."
And the one that "imports from Fossil" actually imports from one
Fossil repository into another.
Just out of curiosity: what's the (or any) use case for doing so?
I had corrupted my repository such that some of the P cards named
nonexistent manifests. This broke trunk into multiple branches, plus
caused the Edit web UI to crash whenever in the vicinity of the
breakage. So I just checked each version of the code into a new
repository, preserving check-in comments.
I hope never to need this again.
CVS branches work the same as RCS branches.
Though i used CVS heavily for 6 or 8 years, i don't remember ever
trying to branch with it.
Unsurprising.
