Hi,
Does anybody know of a tool to download a CVS repository (i.e., all of
the *,v files with all history) using only cvs commands? It could be
useful for some cvs2svn users who can don't have a way to get a tarball
of their CVS repository to use for the cvs2svn conversion.
Contrariwise, perhaps somebody can think of a reason why such a tool is
not possible (for example, maybe it is not possible to get every last
byte of repository information via cvs).
I found projects CVSGrab and cvsget, which allow a working copy to be
updated via ViewCVS to circumvent a firewall, but that is a different
problem. We don't just need a snapshot of the repository, but all of
the history. And hopefully firewalls are not simultaneously causing
problems!
Thanks,
Michael
