    # External CVSROOT, e.g. scs@lx-pool.gsi.de:/misc/hadesprojects/slowcontrol/cvsroot/
    URL_CVSROOT_EXTERNAL=<[User@]external CVSROOT directory>,
    CVSROOT_LOCAL=<local CVSROOT directory>
    # Git repository path: e.g. "hadesprojects-slowcontrol.git"
    GIT_TARGET_DIR=<New Git Repository>,
    # CVS Module to import MODULE=<CVS Module to extract>

    [ ! -z "$CVSROOT_LOCAL" ] mkdir -p "$CVSROOT_LOCAL" &&
    [ ! -z "$URL_CVSROOT_EXTERNAL" ] && rsync --progress -a "$URL_CVSROOT_EXTERNAL/" $CVSROOT_LOCAL
    [ ! -z "$GIT_TARGET_DIR" ] && GIT_TARGET_REPOSITORY=${GIT_TARGET_DIR%%.git}.git && mkdir -p $GIT_TARGET_REPOSITORY &&
    cd $GIT_TARGET_REPOSITORY &&
    git init --bare &&
    [ ! -z "$MODULE" ] && time git cvsimport -i -o cvshead -p xv -v -k -d $CVSROOT_LOCAL -C $GIT_TARGET_REPOSITORY $MODULE >&/tmp/cvsimport.log ||
    echo "import of module \'$MODULE\' of CVS repository \'$URL_CVSROOT_EXTERNAL\' into \'$GIT_TARGET_REPOSITORY\' failed"

Submodule

git submodule
, illustrated in a few command line examples.
TIP These examples require at least version 1.7.

adding a submodule to a git directory

  • git submodule add
  • git submodule

converting a repository into projects with submodules

(H.Brand)
  • create new branch
  • go into sub directory
  • git init
  • create remote bare repository
  • push to (final) remote repository
  • delete local sub directory and
  • replace by add submodule pointing to remote,
  • commit
