Hi All,
I want to migrate my version control CVS to GIT. I have few links which
mentioned about how to migrate CVS repositories to GIT but there is no
description about how to migrate existing CVS users to GIT?
Can you please suggest me or forward me some links which mentioned about how
to migrate users as well.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Because git is distributed, it has no user management (which is
impossible to do). Every user adds his name and e-mail address to his
global .gitconfig file.
For access control, you can check gitolite [1].

Hi All,

As far as I know CVS uses its own server called pserver. And the usual
username and password combo for authentication.
if you want to use git with a central repository, you should use
gitolite. And gitolite uses RSA or DSA keys that are not compatible with
CVS passwords. You can't simply migrate the users to gitolite.
Every user has to generate and send the public half of that key
(generated with ssh-keygen) to the administrator of that repository.
If you have problems authenticating all those users sending you public
keys, let them check in the public keys into a specific path in one of
the old CVS repositories. Then the administrator of the git repository
can fetch them from the CVS (and check that the right user added the
patch for his new key).
