cvs to git

Refer to 

cvs2git Documentation

Tool

https://repo.or.cz/cvs2svn.git

Example:

First dump all CVS from server side:

Refer to sourceforge readme.

Example

rsync -ai a.cvs.sourceforge.net::cvsroot/tinyhttpd/ /my/local/dest/dir/

1. Dump with cvs2svn tool above

cvs2git \
    --blobfile=cvs2svn-tmp/git-blob.dat \
    --dumpfile=cvs2svn-tmp/git-dump.dat \ 
    /path/to/cvs_server_v_file_folder

2.  Import to git

1. mkdir myproject.git
   cd myproject.git
   git init --bare

2. Load the dump files into the new git repository using git fast-import:

   git fast-import --export-marks=../cvs2svn-tmp/git-marks.dat < ../cvs2svn-tmp/git-blob.dat
   git fast-import --import-marks=../cvs2svn-tmp/git-marks.dat < ../cvs2svn-tmp/git-dump.dat

   On Linux/Unix this can be shortened to:

   cat ../cvs2svn-tmp/git-blob.dat ../cvs2svn-tmp/git-dump.dat | git fast-import
