I know the command, I'm more interested in how to do it (properly) in Savannah. There are many options and I want the conversion to be as good as possible. Once the initial git repository is pushed to Savannah, there is no way back. This is where I would welcome hints and suggestions, if others have gone through the same process for other Savannah projects already. I tried following the instructions from: http://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/UsingGit/ (section Importing from CVS) and it looks promising locally. Now I must figure out how to feed the result back into Savannah. And then ideally turn the CVS repository read-only, but I can't seem to find any option in the Savannah administration page to do that. -- Jean Delvare SUSE L3 Support
