git-cvsimport finished without error after approx. 2 hours (while The
East Coast slept).
Does anyone object to me pushing this to git.sv.gnu.org:/srv/git/
mit-scheme.git?
I am working on a cron job so that it will track CVS daily.
I just realized that I can quickly find the earliest tag that will
work for git-cvsimport. cvs-checkout fails just as miserably, but
only downloads the revisions for that tag. I now notice I can
checkout RELEASE_7_3_0, but not RELEASE_7_1_0 or earlier. I get an
error like this:
cvs [checkout aborted]: invalid change text in
/cvsroot/mit-scheme/mit-scheme/v7/src/microcode/comlin.c,v
I will re-run the initial git-cvsimport with -r RELEASE_7_3_0 tonight.
If anyone wants to git anything older, we should talk.
