Dear Lele,

First off, thanks for writing a tool like tailor.  It looks like it will
be very useful for everyone!

Hi Joseph, thank you! The best place for questions about Tailor is the mailing list, as other persons may be more qualified than me in answering about the various backends...

I'm using 0.9.26 on Ubuntu 6.10, and trying to convert a git repository
to bzr.  I'm having some issues which I'm not sure how to solve and I
wonder if you could advise (or point me to others who can help).

I'd suggest picking the latest version, 0.9.26 is quite old...


I've set up the config with,

  tailor -sgit -tbzr -R /joe/code/MGa/.git/ -T /joe/code/MGa-bzr/  \
     --verbose --subdir=MGa.tmp > MGa.conf

but tailor -D --configfile MGa.conf then produces the output (last few
bits only, where the error happens),

19:14:28 [I] Checking out revision
ed15bafcf4012ab6abc128a19b5ee60444b1060a (INITIAL)
19:14:28 [I] /joe/code/MGa.tmp $ git reset --hard
ed15bafcf4012ab6abc128a19b5ee60444b1060a
fatal: /usr/bin/git-reset cannot be used without a working tree.
19:14:28 [W] [Status 1]
19:14:28 [C] Checkout of project failed!

I note that if I go to the MGa.tmp directory and _manually_ type the
contentious command,

  git reset --hard ed15bafcf4012ab6abc128a19b5ee60444b1060a

... the command works fine and I get a nice copy of the first commit
from the git repository.  So I don't understand the error tailor is
displaying.

Any chance of replicating the issue against some public (and possibly small) git repo? I do not use git, so it'd be easier for me...

I wasn't sure if including the .git directory in the source location was
correct, but if I don't include it, a different (and earlier) error
occurs, giving the message "Not a git repository: /joe/code/MGa/".

I'm working with git 1.5.0 and bzr 0.14.

Bye, lele.
