| <h2 id="_description">DESCRIPTION</h2> |
| <div class="sectionbody"> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>This application is a CVS emulation layer for Git.</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>It is highly functional. However, not all methods are implemented, |
| and for those methods that are implemented, |
| not all switches are implemented.</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>Testing has been done using both the CLI CVS client, and the Eclipse CVS |
| plugin. Most functionality works fine with both of these clients.</p> |
| </div> |
| </div> |
| </div> |
| <div class="sect1"> |
| <h2 id="_options">OPTIONS</h2> |
| <div class="sectionbody"> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>All these options obviously only make sense if enforced by the server side. |
| They have been implemented to resemble the <a href="git-daemon.html">git-daemon(1)</a> options as |
| closely as possible.</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="dlist"> |
| <dl> |
| <dt class="hdlist1">--base-path <path></dt> |
| <dd> |
| <p>Prepend <em>path</em> to requested CVSROOT</p> |
| </dd> |
| <dt class="hdlist1">--strict-paths</dt> |
| <dd> |
| <p>Don’t allow recursing into subdirectories</p> |
| </dd> |
| <dt class="hdlist1">--export-all</dt> |
| <dd> |
| <p>Don’t check for <code>gitcvs.enabled</code> in config. You also have to specify a list |
| of allowed directories (see below) if you want to use this option.</p> |
| </dd> |
| <dt class="hdlist1">-V</dt> |
| <dt class="hdlist1">--version</dt> |
| <dd> |
| <p>Print version information and exit</p> |

| <dd> |
| <p>Print usage information and exit</p> |
| </dd> |
| <dt class="hdlist1"><directory></dt> |
| <dd> |
| <p>The remaining arguments provide a list of directories. If no directories |
| are given, then all are allowed. Repositories within these directories |
| still require the <code>gitcvs.enabled</code> config option, unless <code>--export-all</code> |
| is specified.</p> |

| <h2 id="_limitations">LIMITATIONS</h2> |
| <div class="sectionbody"> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>CVS clients cannot tag, branch or perform Git merges.</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p><em>git-cvsserver</em> maps Git branches to CVS modules. This is very different |
| from what most CVS users would expect since in CVS modules usually represent |
| one or more directories.</p> |

| <div class="olist arabic"> |
| <ol class="arabic"> |
| <li> |
| <p>If you are going to offer CVS access via pserver, add a line in |
| /etc/inetd.conf like</p> |
| <div class="openblock"> |
| <div class="content"> |
| <div class="listingblock"> |
| <div class="content"> |
| <pre> cvspserver stream tcp nowait nobody git-cvsserver pserver</pre> |
| </div> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>Note: Some inetd servers let you specify the name of the executable |
| independently of the value of argv[0] (i.e. the name the program assumes |
| it was executed with). In this case the correct line in /etc/inetd.conf |
| looks like</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="listingblock"> |
| <div class="content"> |
| <pre> cvspserver stream tcp nowait nobody /usr/bin/git-cvsserver git-cvsserver pserver</pre> |
| </div> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>Only anonymous access is provided by pserver by default. To commit you |
| will have to create pserver accounts, simply add a gitcvs.authdb |
| setting in the config file of the repositories you want the cvsserver |
| to allow writes to, for example:</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="listingblock"> |
| <div class="content"> |
| <pre> [gitcvs] |
| authdb = /etc/cvsserver/passwd</pre> |
| </div> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>The format of these files is username followed by the encrypted password, |
| for example:</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="listingblock"> |
| <div class="content"> |
| <pre> myuser:sqkNi8zPf01HI |
| myuser:$1$9K7FzU28$VfF6EoPYCJEYcVQwATgOP/ |
| myuser:$5$.NqmNH1vwfzGpV8B$znZIcumu1tNLATgV2l6e1/mY8RzhUDHMOaVOeL1cxV3</pre> |
| </div> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>You can use the <em>htpasswd</em> facility that comes with Apache to make these |
| files, but only with the -d option (or -B if your system supports it).</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>Preferably use the system specific utility that manages password hash |
| creation in your platform (e.g. mkpasswd in Linux, encrypt in OpenBSD or |
| pwhash in NetBSD) and paste it in the right location.</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>Then provide your password via the pserver method, for example:</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="listingblock"> |
| <div class="content"> |
| <pre> cvs -d:pserver:someuser:somepassword@server:/path/repo.git co <HEAD_name></pre> |
| </div> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>No special setup is needed for SSH access, other than having Git tools |
| in the PATH. If you have clients that do not accept the CVS_SERVER |
| environment variable, you can rename <em>git-cvsserver</em> to <code>cvs</code>.</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>Note: Newer CVS versions (>= 1.12.11) also support specifying |
| CVS_SERVER directly in CVSROOT like</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="listingblock"> |
| <div class="content"> |
| <pre> cvs -d ":ext;CVS_SERVER=git cvsserver:user@server/path/repo.git" co <HEAD_name></pre> |
| </div> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>This has the advantage that it will be saved in your <em>CVS/Root</em> files and |
| you don’t need to worry about always setting the correct environment |
| variable. SSH users restricted to <em>git-shell</em> don’t need to override the default |
| with CVS_SERVER (and shouldn’t) as <em>git-shell</em> understands <code>cvs</code> to mean |
| <em>git-cvsserver</em> and pretends that the other end runs the real <em>cvs</em> better.</p> |
| </div> |
| </div> |
| </div> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p>For each repo that you want accessible from CVS you need to edit config in |
| the repo and add the following section.</p> |
| <div class="openblock"> |
| <div class="content"> |
| <div class="listingblock"> |
| <div class="content"> |
| <pre> [gitcvs] |
| enabled=1 |
| # optional for debugging |
| logFile=/path/to/logfile</pre> |
| </div> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>Note: you need to ensure each user that is going to invoke <em>git-cvsserver</em> has |
| write access to the log file and to the database (see |
| <a href="#dbbackend">Database Backend</a>. If you want to offer write access over |
| SSH, the users of course also need write access to the Git repository itself.</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>You also need to ensure that each repository is "bare" (without a Git index |
| file) for <code>cvs</code> <code>commit</code> to work. See <a href="gitcvs-migration.html">gitcvs-migration(7)</a>.</p> |
| </div> |
| <div id="configaccessmethod" class="paragraph"> |
| <p>All configuration variables can also be overridden for a specific method of |
| access. Valid method names are "ext" (for SSH access) and "pserver". The |
| following example configuration would disable pserver access while still |
| allowing access over SSH.</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="listingblock"> |
| <div class="content"> |
| <pre> [gitcvs] |

| <p>If you didn’t specify the CVSROOT/CVS_SERVER directly in the checkout command, |

| explicitly in your environment. CVSROOT should be set as per normal, but the |
| directory should point at the appropriate Git repo. As above, for SSH clients |
| <em>not</em> restricted to <em>git-shell</em>, CVS_SERVER should be set to <em>git-cvsserver</em>.</p> |

| <h2 id="dbbackend">DATABASE BACKEND</h2> |
| <div class="sectionbody"> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p><em>git-cvsserver</em> uses one database per Git head (i.e. CVS module) to |
| store information about the repository to maintain consistent |
| CVS revision numbers. The database needs to be |
| updated (i.e. written to) after every commit.</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>If the commit is done directly by using <code>git</code> (as opposed to |
| using <em>git-cvsserver</em>) the update will need to happen on the |
| next repository access by <em>git-cvsserver</em>, independent of |
| access method and requested operation.</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>That means that even if you offer only read access (e.g. by using |
| the pserver method), <em>git-cvsserver</em> should have write access to |
| the database to work reliably (otherwise you need to make sure |
| that the database is up to date any time <em>git-cvsserver</em> is executed).</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>By default it uses SQLite databases in the Git directory, named |
| <code>gitcvs.</code><em><module-name></em><code>.sqlite</code>. Note that the SQLite backend creates |
| temporary files in the same directory as the database file on |
| write so it might not be enough to grant the users using |
| <em>git-cvsserver</em> write access to the database file without granting |
| them write access to the directory, too.</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>The database cannot be reliably regenerated in a |
| consistent form after the branch it is tracking has changed. |
| Example: For merged branches, <em>git-cvsserver</em> only tracks |
| one branch of development, and after a <em>git merge</em> an |
| incrementally updated database may track a different branch |
| than a database regenerated from scratch, causing inconsistent |
| CVS revision numbers. <code>git-cvsserver</code> has no way of knowing which |
| branch it would have picked if it had been run incrementally |
| pre-merge. So if you have to fully or partially (from old |
| backup) regenerate the database, you should be suspicious |
| of pre-existing CVS sandboxes.</p> |

| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>All the operations required for normal use are supported, including |
| checkout, diff, status, update, log, add, remove, commit.</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>Most CVS command arguments that read CVS tags or revision numbers |
| (typically -r) work, and also support any git refspec |
| (tag, branch, commit ID, etc). |
| However, CVS revision numbers for non-default branches are not well |
| emulated, and cvs log does not show tags or branches at |
| all. (Non-main-branch CVS revision numbers superficially resemble CVS |
| revision numbers, but they actually encode a git commit ID directly, |
| rather than represent the number of revisions since the branch point.)</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>Note that there are two ways to checkout a particular branch. |
| As described elsewhere on this page, the "module" parameter |
| of cvs checkout is interpreted as a branch name, and it becomes |
| the main branch. It remains the main branch for a given sandbox |
| even if you temporarily make another branch sticky with |
| cvs update -r. Alternatively, the -r argument can indicate |
| some other branch to actually checkout, even though the module |
| is still the "main" branch. Tradeoffs (as currently |
| implemented): Each new "module" creates a new database on disk with |
| a history for the given module, and after the database is created, |
| operations against that main branch are fast. Or alternatively, |
| -r doesn’t take any extra disk space, but may be significantly slower for |
| many operations, like cvs update.</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>If you want to refer to a git refspec that has characters that are |
| not allowed by CVS, you have two options. First, it may just work |
| to supply the git refspec directly to the appropriate CVS -r argument; |
| some CVS clients don’t seem to do much sanity checking of the argument. |
| Second, if that fails, you can use a special character escape mechanism |
| that only uses characters that are valid in CVS tags. A sequence |
| of 4 or 5 characters of the form (underscore ("_"), dash ("-"), |
| one or two characters, and dash ("-")) can encode various characters based |
| on the one or two letters: "s" for slash ("/"), "p" for |
| period ("."), "u" for underscore ("_"), or two hexadecimal digits |
| for any byte value at all (typically an ASCII number, or perhaps a part |
| of a UTF-8 encoded character).</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>Legacy monitoring operations are not supported (edit, watch and related). |
| Exports and tagging (tags and branches) are not supported at this stage.</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="sect2"> |
| <h3 id="_crlf_line_ending_conversions">CRLF Line Ending Conversions</h3> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>By default the server leaves the <code>-k</code> mode blank for all files, |
| which causes the CVS client to treat them as a text files, subject |
| to end-of-line conversion on some platforms.</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>You can make the server use the end-of-line conversion attributes to |
| set the <code>-k</code> modes for files by setting the <code>gitcvs.usecrlfattr</code> |
| config variable. See <a href="gitattributes.html">gitattributes(5)</a> for more information |
| about end-of-line conversion.</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>Alternatively, if <code>gitcvs.usecrlfattr</code> config is not enabled |
| or the attributes do not allow automatic detection for a filename, then |
| the server uses the <code>gitcvs.allBinary</code> config for the default setting. |
| If <code>gitcvs.allBinary</code> is set, then file not otherwise |
| specified will default to <em>-kb</em> mode. Otherwise the <code>-k</code> mode |
| is left blank. But if <code>gitcvs.allBinary</code> is set to "guess", then |
| the correct <code>-k</code> mode will be guessed based on the contents of |
| the file.</p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="paragraph"> |
| <p>For best consistency with <em>cvs</em>, it is probably best to override the |
| defaults by setting <code>gitcvs.usecrlfattr</code> to true, |
