Thanks fro the updated.

Savannah does not delete code, so the CVS repository will remain open - but you are welcome to add a note the the webpage of dvipng that users should migrate to the new GIT repository.

Regards,

I am done with the move to git. Feel free to close this issue, and if possible the cvs archive. Or mark it somehow as obsolete.

Yes, I attempted to de-select it to reset it. I then disabled it because I did not want the wrong repo to be publicly accessible.

The main fault of mine was to not preserve the change dates in the old history from the cvs archive.

The plan is to push a cvs-to-git conversion with the correct change dates, and then add my new changes on top of that.

I will probably not have time to do this in another two weeks, but there should be no problem. If any arise, I will let you know.

Thanks,
Jan-Åke

Hello,

If I understand correctly, you've enabled 'git' vcs today, then pushed to it (the wrong repo), then de-selected it in attempt to reset it. Is this correct? Because the current settings for 'dvipng' do not include 'git' repository, but the repository exists and was created today.

Because all but the last few tiny commits in the git repository are identical to the ones in the CVS repository, I've moved aside the 'dvipng' repository, on the good-faith assumption that you will add the new code again to the new repository, so no code is lost.

You should now enable 'git' again in the 'select features' menu, and the git repository should be re-created within an hour, empty.

Please let us know if there are any issues.

Regards,
  - Assaf

(Savanah admins: if there's any need to access the 'old' repo, it is here: vcs:/srv/git/dvipng-git-disabled ; otherwise I'll delete it once this item is closed.)

Yes. Thing is, I pushed the wrong repo. Could somebody help me reset to an empty repository?

Hello,

As the administrator of the dvipng project, you can add/remove repositories type.

Visit the project's savannah page:
https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/dvipng/

In the "main" menu, click "select features".
In the list of available features you'll see "git".
Mark it, then click submit.

Within about an hour, the git repository should be created.

Regard,
 - Assaf

I'd like to change from cvs to git for the dvipng project. Advice on that, please?
