Well, my original opinion was pretty much that; but we are close enough to having the complete history in the git conversion that I would like to be able to say that we won't need the CVS repository any more after we convert. I'm currently down to three unexplainable oddities: these two commits related to the Release_2_0 and Release_2_0_0 tags, and the branch point for the REL2_0B branch. The latter situation looks like this: commit 2032a1fe70f689059476cec5b0ed950078b680c9 582c2ba6a83a58fde8e34d1247f4e987cbe1a622 refs/heads/REL2_0B Author: Marc G.

Fournier <[email protected]> Date: Tue Dec 10 03:03:36 1996 +0000 No change...just a test to make sure I didn't screw anything up M src/Makefile commit 9e60c1711d359f2cefe18c0b62f76a182aadfbd5 33edbdb59b741daed0b26b7033b1ce1b3e70b453 refs/tags/release-6-3 Author: Bryan Henderson <[email protected]> Date: Mon Dec 9 01:55:51 1996 +0000 Monitor has been obsoleted by psql.

Sprout from master 1996-12-09 01:24:53 UTC Bryan Henderson <[email protected]> 'Remove include of libpq-fe.h. This file has nothing to do with libpq.' Delete: src/bin/monitor/Makefile src/bin/monitor/monitor.c D src/bin/monitor/Makefile D src/bin/monitor/monitor.c commit 33edbdb59b741daed0b26b7033b1ce1b3e70b453 79729c0e5efab44c764a69ceaa9d52ecd6be1ce5 refs/tags/release-6-3 Author: Bryan Henderson <[email protected]> Date: Mon Dec 9 01:24:53 1996 +0000 Remove include of libpq-fe.h. This file has nothing to do with libpq. M src/test/regress/regress.c Now as far as I can tell, the branch was made immediately before those test commits you can see Marc making in each branch. In particular, it was definitely made *after* Bryan deleted the src/bin/monitor files, because neither of them have REL2_0 or REL2_0B tags. So why did cvs2git choose to sprout the branch from the commit before that, and have to duplicate the deletion of the files? This sure looks like a bug to me. It's a minor issue of course, and I don't have a problem with accepting the history as shown above, but I'm curious why it's doing that. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list ([email protected]) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
