More info at http://gregoryszorc.com/blog/2015/05/18/firefox-mercurial-repository-with-cvs-history/. Yes, it hasn't been updating. If I had infinite time I would stand this up as something more permanent. You may find bug 1200362 and the link in comment #1 useful. I still need to make a more permanent home for it. Hopefully this ties people over until I have time. People did some wonky things with the CVS repository back in the day. e.g. people would SSH into the server and manually edit files inside the repo *without* using CVS commands. hwine and people such as dbaron who were around in the early days of Mozilla can tell you more. The takeaway is that no conversion of the CVS repository to {Mercurial, Git, ... } will have perfect history. In theory, we could have someone spend a few months pouring over the repository and hand crafting a more proper conversion. I doubt that will ever happen. _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
