Procedure
The following details the procedures that will take place for each repository conversion.
Conversion
# Use cvs2git to convert the repository. See below for the cvs->git username map. # Check log file for any errors, the conversion log(s) for each repository will be placed on the FTP. # Run a script that will checkout each CVS and Git branch to compare the two ensuring no differences, these logs will be placed on the FTP As well.
Post
# Remove any extraneous branches or tags. # rename tags/branches to normalise names. # sign tags using PGP.

Transition
The transition will be completed in two main steps, the first is the conversion phase, the second a "transition" phase for developer feedback.
With luck the entire process will take less than two weeks.
Phase 1
# Make CVS repository read-only. (All commits disabled) # Convert all repositories to Git including verification
Week 2
# Enable private access for developers. # Wait for feedback, making any changes nessicary. # Enable public read-only access
Public Access
Public access will come from git.rtems.org with cgit as a web interface.
