For example: > > :pserver:anoncvs@cygwin.com:/cvs/cygwin-apps setup (Cygwin setup) > :pserver:anoncvs@cygwin.com:/cvs/cygwin htdocs (Cygwin website) I've just dusted off this job, and although I was still unable to get Git v1.8.5.2 working, bumping up to the latest v2.0.2 has had considerably more success. There are a few things to iron out yet: I've only checked the 32-bit build so far, and I'm using a borrowed computer at the moment so I need to make sure I can recreate the results on my machine. I've also only done very mainline testing thus far on this build, although the test suite is running as I write this email. I've still not been able to clone the Cygwin source code from CVS -- I've been testing by cloning the cygwin-apps repo Yaakov referenced above -- but the errors look like a version incompatibility, and I don't think there's much I can do about that. If someone who knows more about CVS and Git could take a look at the output and confirm that hypothesis, I'd be grateful: $ git cvsimport -v -d :pserver:anoncvs@cygwin.com:/cvs/src src Initialized empty Git repository in /home/add/test/.git/ Running cvsps... WARNING: malformed CVS version str: Server: WARNING: Your CVS client version: [Client: Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.12.13 (client/server)] and/or server version: [Server: ] are too old to properly support the rlog command. This command was introduced in 1.11.1. Cvsps will use log instead, but PatchSet numbering may become unstable due to pruned empty directories. cvs [log aborted]: reading from server: Connection reset by peer DONE; creating master branch fatal: refs/heads/origin: not a valid SHA1 fatal: master: not a valid SHA1 fatal: You are on a branch yet to be born checkout failed: 32768 As I say, the cvsimport of the cygwin-apps repo is going just fine, so I don't think this is a fundamental problem with my build any more. Fingers crossed for an up-to-date Git release soon.
