[PATCH] Ignore commits for which cvsps can't identify a branch
From: Christian Biesinger <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:42:18
cvps sometimes can't identify a branch for a specific revision, it shows messages like: WARNING: revision 1.36.2.2 of file Makefile.in on unnamed branch and uses #CVSPS_NO_BRANCH as branch name in its output. This checkin makes it so that git-cvsimport ignores such branches, and when they appear as ancestor branch, it maps them to HEAD. Signed-off-by: Christian Biesinger <redacted> --- I tried to import the Mozilla CVS Repository into git, just for fun, and it failed. This is one of the patches that are required for it. I hope I did this right, I'm not so familiar with git... Documentation/SubmittingPatches says to mail patches to the maintainer, who is that? :) git-cvsimport.perl | 11 +++++++++++ 1 files changed, 11 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) ed142593c84ba76580e780ce8f12244214023213
