git cvsimport 错误：“root ...必须是绝对路径名”

Question

我正在尝试使用 git 克隆 CVS 存储库：

lawsa~/java/projects/iu$ git cvsimport -C ../iugit ebs/fs/kfs
Expected Valid-requests from server, but got: E Root
:extssh:lawsa@cvs.uits.iu.edu:/srcctrl/CVS must be an absolute pathname
lawsa~/java/projects/iu$ 

我看到另一个人有类似的问题here。他引用了他的解决方案：“只要我使用匿名访问，我就可以让转换工作！”。这不起作用，因为我们的服务器肯定不允许匿名访问（即使他们这样做是为了读取，我也需要读/写访问权限）。

我按照gitcvs-migration 的说明进行操作，上面写着：

...cd to a checked out CVS working directory of the project you are interested in
and run git-cvsimport(1):

     $ git cvsimport -C <destination> <module>

我已按照这些说明（并拥有cvsps 2.1 版）导航到本地工作副本。很明显，git cvsimport 正在我的工作副本的 CVS 目录中找到我的 CVS_ROOT，因为我没有指定它，但它显示在错误消息中。

如果您能提供帮助，请告诉我。请记住，小事可能是大事！ :-)

Answer 1

我很高兴能弄清楚：

lawsa~/java/projects$ git cvsimport -d "$CVSROOT" -C iugit -r cvs -k ebs/fs/kfs
Expected Valid-requests from server, but got: E Root     
:extssh:lawsa@cvs.uits.iu.edu:/srcctrl/CVS must be an absolute pathname
lawsa~/java/projects$ echo $CVSROOT
:extssh:lawsa@cvs.uits.iu.edu:/srcctrl/CVS
lawsa~/java/projects$ CVSROOT=:ssh:lawsa@cvs.uits.iu.edu:/srcctrl/CVS
lawsa~/java/projects$ git cvsimport -d "$CVSROOT" -C iugit -r cvs -k ebs/fs/kfs
Expected Valid-requests from server, but got: E Root 
:ssh:lawsa@cvs.uits.iu.edu:/srcctrl/CVS must be an absolute pathname
lawsa~/java/projects$ CVSROOT=:ext:lawsa@cvs.uits.iu.edu:/srcctrl/CVS                                     
lawsa~/java/projects$ git cvsimport -d "$CVSROOT" -C iugit -v -r cvs -k ebs/fs/kfs

也许git cvsimport 不接受extssh 作为身份验证机制？

Answer 2

我终于用 git cvs 命令取得了一些成功。看来您可以导入目录而无需在 cvs 根目录中指定 :extssh。只需转到一个新目录并输入：

git cvsimport -v -d user@server:/path/to/dir -r cvs -k my_module

这解决了“必须是绝对路径名”错误。
