I've tried this. I have `git cvsimport` seemingly working on the current Git 1.7.9 build, while my build reports the following SHA1 error: ~~~~ $ CVSROOT=:pserver:anon...@cygwin.com:/cvs/src git cvsimport -C cygwin -r cvs -k cygwin Initialized empty Git repository in /home/Adam/vcs/cygwin/.git/ fatal: refs/remotes/cvs/master: not a valid SHA1 fatal: master: not a valid SHA1 fatal: You are on a branch yet to be born checkout failed: 32768 ~~~~ That's a showstopper, currently, and it'll probably take a little while to work out where it's going wrong, since I have very little familiarity with Git's internals. I am working on it, but I don't have an ETA at present. (Of course, if anyone fancies helping out, or having a wonderful revelation akin to Corinna's earlier OpenSSL one, that would be exceedingly useful right now.) > - Install minimal packages (Base + the dependencies listed in the > setup.hint files) and check that the basic functionality works. I've done this, and everything seems to be fine there, at least for the exceedingly basic tests I've done. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
