I am using cvs2svn to convert a bunch of cvs files from my Repository over to svn. Now for the most part its just very slow but its going there. My main problem are a few files showing up with a error output like this.
ERROR: the command 'cvs -q -R -f -d C:\CVSRepo co -r1.2 -p HEAD/xxx/xx/Afile.java' failed with exit status =1
and the following output:
cvs checkout: cannot find module 'HEAD/xxx/xx/afile' -ignored
Now I can see the file showing up just fine, but i cant get past that subversion. its always on a the same number on step 16. I don't know what to do and any advice or suggestions would be appreciated and welcomed :)
Thank you.
I haven't seen this problem before. I have two guesses and two suggestions:
Guess 1: The fact that you have a directory named "HEAD" is confusing CVS, for which "HEAD" means the main branch. As a test, try renaming that directory and then converting.
Guess 2: You are using CVS modules, and they are confusing CVS when it tries to extract the file content from the repository. As a test, try removing the "modules" file and then converting.
Suggestion 1: Make sure you are using the latest version of cvs2svn and try using --use-internal-co (which bypasses CVS altogether).
Suggestion 2: Take your question over to the cvs2svn users mailing list, where it is easier to hold a conversation.
