In the latter case GIT_DIR must +be defined. See examples below. + +It does its best to do the safe thing, it will check that the files are +unchanged and up to date in the CVS checkout, and it will not autocommit +by default. + +Supports file additions, removals, and commits that affect binary files. + +If the commit is a merge commit, you must tell 'git cvsexportcommit' what +parent the changeset should be done against. + +OPTIONS +------- + +-c:: + Commit automatically if the patch applied cleanly. It will not + commit if any hunks fail to apply or there were other problems. + +-p:: + Be pedantic (paranoid) when applying patches. Invokes patch with + --fuzz=0 + +-a:: + Add authorship information. Adds Author line, and Committer (if + different from Author) to the message. + +-d:: + Set an alternative CVSROOT to use. This corresponds to the CVS + -d parameter. Usually users will not want to set this, except + if using CVS in an asymmetric fashion. + +-f:: + Force the merge even if the files are not up to date. + +-P:: + Force the parent commit, even if it is not a direct parent. + +-m:: + Prepend the commit message with the provided prefix. + Useful for patch series and the like. + +-u:: + Update affected files from CVS repository before attempting export. + +-k:: + Reverse CVS keyword expansion (e.g. $Revision: 1.2.3.4$ + becomes $Revision$) in working CVS checkout before applying patch. + +-w:: + Specify the location of the CVS checkout to use for the export. This + option does not require GIT_DIR to be set before execution if the + current directory is within a Git repository. The default is the + value of 'cvsexportcommit.cvsdir'. + +-W:: + Tell cvsexportcommit that the current working directory is not only + a Git checkout, but also the CVS checkout. Therefore, Git will + reset the working directory to the parent commit before proceeding. + +-v:: + Verbose. + +CONFIGURATION +------------- +cvsexportcommit.cvsdir:: + The default location of the CVS checkout to use for the export. + +EXAMPLES +-------- + +Merge one patch into CVS:: ++ +------------ +$ export GIT_DIR=~/project/.git +$ cd ~/project_cvs_checkout +$ git cvsexportcommit -v +$ cvs commit -F .msg +------------ + +Merge one patch into CVS (-c and -w options).
