Here is some more information on the git repository:

Synchronization with SER CVS

The repository git.sip-router.org/ser is pulls commits from the SER CVS repository automatically. The synchronization works one-way only, changes commited to the SER CVS are automatically imported into the Git repository, but not vice versa. In other words if you want to commit something in the SER CVS repository then you have to do it manually, git won't help you here.

To push changes I've done in the git ser repo to ser cvs I use:

git log --pretty=oneline # to get the commit id I want to "export"

git cvsexportcommit -c -p -w ~/ser.cvs/ -v <commitid>

e.g.: git cvsexportcommit -c -p -w ~/ser.cvs/ -v <commitid> a9d929f558a6a620034fac8aa06c503b72c30fd8

in ~/ser.cvs I have an up-to-date checkout of ser from berlios cvs with the following small change: cd ~/ser.cvs; rm ser; ln -s . ser I need this because in the git repo ser is under the ser subdir, while in cvs it's in the "root" dir (or at least this is the way I checkout it).

Another way to do it is to generate patches in git (e.g. git format-patch <comitid>) and the apply it manually on cvs, but this requires also a copy-paste for the commit message.

Clone the repository: $ git clone git://git.sip-router.org/ser

and display the list of branches in the cloned repository: $ git branch -a

origin/HEAD origin/MAIN origin/Maintainer origin/andrei_cvs-head origin/cancel_fix origin/cvs-head origin/janakj origin/jj/cvshead origin/jj/doxygen origin/master origin/rel_0_8_11 origin/rel_0_8_12 origin/rel_0_8_14 origin/rel_0_9_0 origin/rel_2_0_0 origin/rel_janakj origin/start origin/testing_0_8_12 origin/vendor

Several of the branches above are automatically updated from CVS, namely origin/cvs-head receives cvs commits to HEAD and origin/rel_2_0_0 receives commits to the branch rel_2_0_0 in CVS, and so on.

These branches will be updated with latest commits from the CVS repository every time you do:

$ git pull

Note that after the steps described above you have the whole CVS commit history of SER on your local machine, starting with day 1 until today, and including all branches from the CVS repository. This is convenient because you can work with the history offline and pretty much all common operations are blazingly fast because they only work with local files.

Note also that you can push changes only to branches starting with tmp/ , with your <your_username>/ or master (which is unused).

The cvs sync branches are read-only,
