I'm a little queasy about that approach just because, not really
knowing SVN, I don't know why I'd care about A's transactions being
after B's. I guess I'm not even sure what you mean by transactions.
so I decided to just let the utility create its structure and then
move the directories as I see fit... however, when I try it I get an
error:
# svn mv svn://janus/trunk/www /www/trunk
svn: No support for repos <--> working copy moves
and additionally, in reviewing the structure it created, I'm a little
confused because under CVS there aren't branches and tags... so I'm
not sure where to create these directories e.g. if I have a project /
Text/Roman, should I have /Text/trunk, /Text/Roman/trunk? and what if
there's /Text/Roman/Test (which isn't really a project but a directory
under a project) - then in that case shall I create /Text/Roman/Test/
trunk too?
yikes!
and then there is the /tags directory that seems to contain /tag/
directory where the directory seems to be a project... can I safely
assume it's a project? in that case could I have situations where
there are two projects under the same tag?
and still under /branches I find all my projects but there is a
directory "arix" in the middle...
I really do wish cvs2svn did the right thing to avoid all this
confusion!
