My current goal is to get the results of cvs2cl (which collects all the commit messages of the original CVS repository) and svn2cl (which collects all the commit messages of the converted SVN repository) to match for lbproject (and all other projects I will be converting after lbproject).
However, the output formats of the two programmes are sufficiently different that the signal that I am looking for, e.g., real differences in commit messages caused by improper conversion, is being lost in the noise. The processing and output formatting that goes on for svn2cl is under the control of xslt. Fortunately, cvs2cl has an option to create xml output so it is possible to transform that xml output further using identical xslt formatting options that are available for svn2cl. Using this approach I am beginning to get close to the final result that I need in the cvs commit message pipeline, and I hope to have a satisfactory result tomorrow so I can move forward to further tests of the conversion to SVN for lbproject.
