{{code|cvs2git}} is a utility that converts a CVS repository into a Git repository.

== Quick Usage Guide ==
After installing {{code|cvs2git}}, convert a CVS repository by running:

{{highlight|lang=terminal|code=
$ cvs2git --blobfile=blob.dat --dumpfile=dump.dat CVSRepo

## Create a new git repo and import the dat files
$ mkdir gitrepo
$ cd gitrepo
$ git init
$ cat ../blob.dat ../dump.dat | git fast-import

## Reset the git repo to the head
$ git reset --hard
}}

=== Transform Committer Information ===
Since the CVS repos use only usernames, the git commits will not have the proper Name/Emails set. Depending on your requirements, you may want to have the commit information match a person's identity.

To do this, copy the example cvs2git config file.

{{highlight|lang=terminal|code=
cp /usr/share/doc/cvs2svn-2.3.0/cvs2git-example.options ~
}}

Edit the {{code|author_transforms}} section.

For example, to convert the 'originalname' username:
{{highlight|lang=text|code=
author_transforms={
'originalname' : ('New Name', 'new.name@steamr.com')
}
}}

Specify the project by editing the {{code|run_options.set_project}} value.

{{highlight|lang=text|code=
run_options.set_project(
r'LaTeX',
)
}}

You may also optionally set the blob path by editing the values under {{code|ctx.revision_recorder}}:
{{highlight|lang=text|code=
ctx.revision_recorder = SimpleFulltextRevisionRecorderAdapter(
CVSRevisionReader(cvs_executable=r'cvs'),
GitRevisionRecorder('blob.dat'),
}}

With these settings made, we can do the conversion:
{{highlight|lang=terminal|code=
## Convert with the options file we copied above
$ cvs2git --options=cvs2git-example.options

## Create a new git repo and import the dat files
$ mkdir gitrepo
$ cd gitrepo
$ git init
$ cat ../blob.dat ../dump.dat | git fast-import

## Reset the git repo to the head
$ git reset --hard
}}
