The problem is a simple one. I've used git cvsimport to import a cvs repo into a remote branch in a local git repository. I then wish to sync this repository: branches, tags, and all, to a git repository in the cloud (github / gitorious). To do this I don't have the access to rsync or copy the repository directly, I have to use git push...

I have a rather complicated deploy setup for our Drupal site that is a combination of CVS and SVN. We use CVS to get the newest versions of modules, and we deploy with SVN. Unfortunately, when CVS updates remove files, Subversions complains because they weren't removed in SVN. I am trying to do some shell scripting and Perl to run an svn...
Possible Duplicates: Do I really need version control? Using Version Control for Home Development I was reading a blog where the writer said this "Code doesn’t exist unless it’s checked into a version control system.

We're interested in moving from a source control system that supports the concept of shared or linked files. A shared file means: a file modified in one project, is automatically updated changed in every other project that uses that same file. It does this without a developer having to request it, reverse-integrate it, ask for it, or e...
What algorithm does CVS use when merging two branches (using the -j)? Is the CVS tag, branch, or date aware? Does it just do a plain text diff (for example, using the unix diff tool)? Does it use a 2 way or 3 way diff? If it uses a 3 way diff, what is the base version it uses? Thanks ...

I've been given a tar.gz file which is supposed to be a snapshot of a dead project. The project used to be stored in a CVS repository. The problem is that I don't get actual snapshots of the files. Instead, each directory has a subdirectory called "Attic" and a bunch of "f,v" files, where "f" seems to be the name of the original file. Th...
We are moving to SVN and need to prevent commits to specific directories/modules within the CVS repository. What is the best way of doing this? I have currently set the filesystem permissions for this directory to read-only and seems to do the job for now - but is there a 'cvs' way of doing this? Also, can I make a specific branch read...

I discovered TortoiseCVS today an...
Hi, I usually have 2-3 checkouts of my project - one for working, one for testing etc.. These checkedout copies of the project sometimes require browsing through the sources. I use cscope & ctags.
