I've set up an automatically-sync'd git mirror of the libvirt.org's libvirt CVS repository. The mirror is updated approximately every 30 minutes. You can view the change-set summary via this URL:
http://git.et.redhat.com/?p=libvirt.git
You can get a copy of the repository with the following command: (this uses the efficient "git://" protocol, and is sort of analogous to CVS pserver, in that you get anonymous, read-only access)
git clone git://et.redhat.com/libvirt
Hi Jim,
Thanks, now I don't have to keep a local mirror anymore :) It seems that your mirror is missing tags, though, according to
Hi Jim, Thanks for letting me know. git's default hooks/update prohibits pushing such unannotated tags by default, so although git-cvsimport did create them, when I pushed the result to the public repo, they were being denied. I've changed the corresponding config variable to permit it, so the tags are there, now.
"git tags -l". My local mirror had tags and was created with git-cvsimport -o master -d $CVSROOT -v -k -m -i libvirt
Thanks. I've added -k, since libvirt has at least 8 files with $Id[*], but don't seem to need the '-o master' -- at least not the way I'm pushing the result afterwards. Do you need it, with a recent version of git?
Also, perhaps some .gitignore files could be added upstream now? Patch below.
[patch adding many individual .gitignore files] I suppose you know that you can do the same thing with a single top-level .gitignore file. While such consolidation makes the result less maintainable, it might be more palatable for committers who don't use any dVCS. [*] It'd be nice to remove the $Id strings. Even in CVS, with no branches, they tend to cause nothing but trouble.
