You must not call cvs2svn with the svnrepos. cvs2svn creates a Subversion dump file that must be loaded afterwards. From my SVN cheat sheet: Migration of a Project from CVS to SVN: ======================================= Create a dump file from the CVS repository: project=XXX cvs2svn --dump-only --dumpfile=$project.svndump --use-cvs \ --cvs-revnums --no-default-eol $CVSROOT/$project The option --symbol-transform allows to transform tag names, e.g., to map hyphens or underscores to dots. With svndumpfilter one can change the created dump file: Remove parts of the repository, or specify which parts shall be imported. Load the dump file into the SVN depot; to do on the SVN-Server: svn mkdir svn+ssh://svn/$project svnadmin load --parent-dir=$project /data/SVN/depot <$project.svndump There is also a script verify-svn to check the migration. This must be tested, I haven't tried it yet. =============== I hope that the mail gateway won't insert new lines above. Of course, your SVN base URL (above: svn+ssh://svn/) and your SVN repository directory (above: /data/SVN/depot/) will be different than mine. ~~~ Thank you. It helps a lot. What is 'project=XXX'? Is that in a file? I created the dir called svnrepos for subversion. The cvsroot dir contains all of the CVS data & projects. Does the above command just do one project at a time? If so, is there a way to it all at once? Thank you, James -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

This is a shell statement; it assigns the name of a project (XXX in my example) to the shell variable project. Wherever $project later is mentioned, that value is used.

Yes, this does the conversion once at a time. If one uses just $CVSROOT instead of $CVSROOT/$project, the whole CVS repository is converted at once. One needs to leave off the --parent-dir option at the svnadmin load command then, too. But in my opinion this is only sensible if the projects are very tightly related. Otherwise, the resulting SVN directory structure with trunk, tags, and branches is not practical.
