#
# This is a template for an options file that can be used to configure
# cvs2svn to convert to git rather than to Subversion.  See
# www/cvs2git.html and www/cvs2svn.html for general information, and
# see the comments in this file for information about what options are
# available and how they can be set.
#
# The program that is run to convert from CVS to git is called
# cvs2git.  Run it with the --options option, passing it this file as
# argument:
#
#     cvs2git --options=cvs2git-example.options
#
# The output of cvs2git is a blob file and a dump file that can be
# loaded into git using the "git fast-import" command.  Please read
# www/cvs2git.html for more information.
#
# Many options do not have defaults, so it is easier to copy this file
# and modify what you need rather than creating a new options file
# from scratch.  This file is in Python syntax, but you don't need to
# know Python to modify it.  But if you *do* know Python, then you
# will be happy to know that you can use arbitary Python constructs to
# do fancy configuration tricks.
#
# But please be aware of the following:
#
# * In many places, leading whitespace is significant in Python (it is
#   used instead of curly braces to group statements together).
#   Therefore, if you don't know what you are doing, it is best to
#   leave the whitespace as it is.
#
# * In normal strings, Python treats a backslash ("\") as an escape
#   character.  Therefore, if you want to specify a string that
#   contains a backslash, you need either to escape the backslash with
#   another backslash ("\\"), or use a "raw string", as in one if the
#   following equivalent examples:
#
#       ctx.sort_executable = 'c:\\windows\\system32\\sort.exe'
#       ctx.sort_executable = r'c:\windows\system32\sort.exe'
#
#   See http://docs.python.org/tutorial/introduction.html#strings for
#   more information.
#
# Two identifiers will have been defined before this file is executed,
# and can be used freely within this file:
#
#     ctx -- a Ctx object (see cvs2svn_lib/context.py), which holds
#         many configuration options
#
#     run_options -- an instance of the GitRunOptions class (see
#         cvs2svn_lib/git_run_options.py), which holds some variables
#         governing how cvs2git is run


# Import some modules that are used in setting the options:

#
# 1. A CVS symbol might be used as a tag in one file and as a branch
#    in another file.  cvs2svn has to decide whether to convert such a
#    symbol as a tag or as a branch.  cvs2svn uses a series of
#    heuristic rules to decide how to convert a symbol.  The user can
#    override the default rules for specific symbols or symbols
#    matching regular expressions.
#
# 2. cvs2svn is also capable of excluding symbols from the conversion
#    (provided no other symbols depend on them.
#
# 3. CVS does not record unambiguously the line of development from
#    which a symbol sprouted.  cvs2svn uses a heuristic to choose a
#    symbol's "preferred parents".
#
# The standard branch/tag/exclude StrategyRules do not change a symbol
# that has already been processed by an earlier rule, so in effect the
# first matching rule is the one that is used.

    # The format of the hints file is described in the documentation
    # for the --symbol-hints command-line option.  The file output by
    # the --write-symbol-info (i.e., ctx.symbol_info_filename) option
    # is in the same format.  The simplest way to use this option is
    # to run the conversion through CollateSymbolsPass with
    # --write-symbol-info option, copy the symbol info and edit it to
    # create a hints file, then re-start the conversion at
    # CollateSymbolsPass with this option enabled.

    # the same content to the trunk as version 1.1.  Normally, such
    # vendor branches are useless and they complicate the SVN history
    # unnecessarily.  The following rule excludes any branches that
    # only existed as a vendor branch with a single import (leaving
    # only the 1.1 revision).  If you want to retain such branches,

# In CVS, it is perfectly possible to make a single commit that

# default, when cvs2svn sees what looks like a cross-project or
# cross-branch CVS commit, it converts it into a
# cross-project/cross-branch Subversion commit.
#
# However, other tools and SCMs have trouble representing
# cross-project or cross-branch commits.  (For example, Trac's Revtree
# plugin, http://www.trac-hacks.org/wiki/RevtreePlugin is confused by
# such commits.)  Therefore, we provide the following two options to
# allow cross-project/cross-branch commits to be suppressed.

# cvs2git only supports single-project conversions (multiple-project
# conversions wouldn't really make sense for git anyway).  So this

ctx.keep_cvsignore = True

# By default, it is a fatal error for a CVS ",v" file to appear both
