Unfortunately mismatches have crept in over time between the version in hg and the upstream repository, and I do see warnings about untracked files in the conversion process. I am not sure whether this is due to an outright problem with cvs20hg (which was never claimed by the author to be perfect), or something environmental. Either way I have not investigated. The question is whether there exists a trustworthy p4->{git,hg,mtn,whatever} conversion path. The best way to find out is probably to try it out, preferably on the real repository. In terms of my offer host, the problem with hg is that the hg CGI script is not scalable (separate huge python process for each concurrent client, and significant resources requires for each synch, increasing the potential for concurrency). My impression is that git should be hugely more scalable in this regard, so was hoping for reliable p4->git in particular for this reason. -- / Peter Schuller PGP userID: 0xE9758B7D or 'Peter Schuller <peter.schuller_at_infidyne.com>' Key retrieval: Send an E-Mail to getpgpkey_at_scode.org E-Mail: peter.schuller_at_infidyne.com Web: http://www.scode.org
