| * Clarify documentation of git-cvsserver, particularly in relation to git-shellScott Collins2008-04-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For SSH clients restricted to git-shell, CVS_SERVER does not have to be specified, because git-shell understands the default value of 'cvs' to mean git-cvsserver'. This makes it totally transparent to CVS users, but the instruction to set up CVS access for people with real shell access does not apply. Previous wording mentioning GIT_AUTHOR, GIT_COMMITTER variables was unclear that we really meant GIT_AUTHOR_(NAME|EMAIL), etc. Note that the .ssh/environment file is a good place to set these, and that the .bashrc is shell-specific. Add a bit of text to differentiate cvs -d (setting CVSROOT) from cvs co -d (setting the name of the newly checked out directory). Removed an extra 'Example:' string.

* | Allow git-cvsserver database table name prefix to be specified.Josh Elsasser2008-03-30
|/ | | | | | | | | | | Adds a gitcvs.dbtablenameprefix config variable, the contents of which are prepended to any database tables names used by git-cvsserver. The same substutions as gitcvs.dbname and gitcvs.dbuser are supported, and any non-alphabetic characters are replaced with underscores. A typo found in contrib/completion/git-completion.bash is also fixed. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

* Documentation: rename gitlink macro to linkgitDan McGee2008-01-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Between AsciiDoc 8.2.2 and 8.2.3, the following change was made to the stock Asciidoc configuration: @@ -149,7 +153,10 @@ # Inline macros. # Backslash prefix required for escape processing. # (?s) re flag for line spanning. -(?su)[\\]?(?P<name>\w(\w|-)*?):(?P<target>\S*?)(\[(?P<attrlist>.*?)\])= + +# Explicit so they can be nested. +(?su)[\\]?(?P<name>(http|https|ftp|file|mailto|callto|image|link)):(?P<target>\S*?)(\[(?P<attrlist>.*?)\])= + # Anchor: [[[id]]].

By renaming the macro, we can avoid being matched by the wrong regex. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dpmcgee@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

* cvsserver: Actually implement --export-allFrank Lichtenheld2007-06-15
| | | | | | | | | | | Embarrassing bug number two in my options patch. Also enforce that --export-all is only ever used together with an explicit whitelist. Otherwise people might export every git repository on the whole system without realising. Signed-off-by: Frank Lichtenheld <frank@lichtenheld.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* cvsserver: Add some useful commandline optionsFrank Lichtenheld2007-06-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make git-cvsserver understand some options inspired by git-daemon, namely --base-path, --export-all, --strict-paths. Also allow the caller to specify a whitelist of allowed directories, again similar to git-daemon. While already adding option parsing also support the common --help and --version options. Rationale: While the gitcvs.enabled configuration option already offers means to limit git-cvsserver access to a repository, there are some use cases where other methods of access control prove to be more useful. E.g. if setting up a pserver for a collection of public repositories one might want limit the exported repositories to exactly the directory this collection is located whithout having to worry about other repositories that might lie around with the configuration variable set (never trust your users ;) Signed-off-by: Frank Lichtenheld <frank@lichtenheld.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

* cvsserver: Note that CVS_SERVER can also be specified as method variableFrank Lichtenheld2007-05-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Reasonably new versions of the cvs CLI client allow one to specifiy CVS_SERVER as a method variable directly in CVSROOT. This is way more convinient than using an environment variable since it gets saved in CVS/Root. Since I only discovered this by accident I guess there might be others out there that learnt CVS on the 1.11 series (or even earlier) and profit from such a note about cvs improvements in the last couple years.

| * cvsserver: Document the GIT branches -> CVS modules mapping more prominentlyFrank Lichtenheld2007-04-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a note about the branches -> modules mapping to LIMITATIONS because I really think it should be noted there and not just at the end of the installation step-by-step HOWTO. I used "git branches" there and changed "heads" to "branches" in my section about database configuration. I'm reluctant to replace all occourences of "head" with "branch" though because you always have to say "git branch" because CVS also has the concept of branches. You can say "head" though, because there is no such concept in CVS. In all the existing occourences of head other than the one I changed I think "head" flows better in the text.

* Introducing git-cvsserver -- a CVS emulator for git.Martin Langhoff2006-02-22
git-cvsserver is highly functional. However, not all methods are implemented, and for those methods that are implemented, not all switches are implemented. All the common read operations are implemented, and add/remove/commit are supported. Testing has been done using both the CLI CVS client, and the Eclipse CVS plugin. Most functionality works fine with both of these clients. Currently git-cvsserver only works over SSH connections, see the Documentation for more details on how to configure your client. It does not support pserver for anonymous access but it should not be hard to implement. Anonymous access will need tighter input validation. In our very informal tests, it seems to be significantly faster than a real CVS server. This utility depends on a version of git-cvsannotate that supports -S and on DBD::SQLite. Licensed under GPLv2.
