I haven't tried the new tailor yet (still use the old cvsync branch), but I remember having to check out the initial revision from CVS into my "sync" directory. Then I ran tailor on my checked-out copy, which turned the CVS checkout into a hybrid CVS/darcs repository. Then I used tailor to pull all the changesets from CVS. I also created a "master" darcs repository from the hybrid one, and then another "working" repository for me to work in. -kolibrie _______________________________________________ Tailor mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zooko.com/mailman/listinfo/tailor
