The \-\- is just a good idea when you know the rest will be filenames; it will prevent problems with a filename of, for example, \-a\&. Using \-\- is probably a good policy in scripts\&.
.SH "LIMITATIONS"
-Currently gitcvs only works over ssh connections\&.
+Currently cvsserver works over SSH connections for read/write clients, and over pserver for anonymous CVS access\&.
+
+
+CVS clients cannot tag, branch or perform GIT merges\&.
.SH "INSTALLATION"
.TP 3
1.
-Put server\&.pl somewhere useful on the same machine that is hosting your git repos
+If you are going to offer anonymous CVS access via pserver, add a line in /etc/inetd\&.conf like
+
+.nf
+cvspserver stream tcp nowait nobody git\-cvsserver pserver
+.fi
+
+.nf
+Note: In some cases, you need to pass the 'pserver' argument twice for
+git\-cvsserver to see it\&. So the line would look like
+.fi
+
+.nf
+cvspserver stream tcp nowait nobody git\-cvsserver pserver pserver
+.fi
+
+.nf
+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
+env variable, you can rename git\-cvsserver to cvs\&.
+.fi
.TP
2.
For each repo that you want accessible from CVS you need to edit config in the repo and add the following section\&.
.nf
[gitcvs]
enabled=1
+ # optional for debugging
logfile=/path/to/logfile
.fi
.nf
-n\&.b\&. you need to ensure each user that is going to invoke server\&.pl has
-write access to the log file\&.
+Note: you need to ensure each user that is going to invoke git\-cvsserver has
+write access to the log file and to the git repository\&. When offering anon
+access via pserver, this means that the nobody user should have write access
+to at least the sqlite database at the root of the repository\&.
.fi
.TP
3.
-On each client machine you need to set the following variables\&. CVSROOT should be set as per normal, but the directory should point at the appropriate git repo\&. CVS_SERVER should be set to the server\&.pl script that has been put on the remote machine\&.

-Note that most versions of Eclipse ignore CVS_SERVER (which you can set in the Preferences\->Team\->CVS\->ExtConnection pane), so you may have to rename, alias or symlink git\-cvsserver to \fIcvs\fR on the server\&.
+Protocol notes: If you are using anonymous acces via pserver, just select that\&. Those using SSH access should choose the \fIext\fR protocol, and configure \fIext\fR access on the Preferences\->Team\->CVS\->ExtConnection pane\&. Set CVS_SERVER to \fIgit\-cvsserver\fR\&. Not that password support is not good when using \fIext\fR, you will definitely want to have SSH keys setup\&.
+
+
+Alternatively, you can just use the non\-standard extssh protocol that Eclipse offer\&. In that case CVS_SERVER is ignored, and you will have to replace the cvs utility on the server with git\-cvsserver or manipulate your \&.bashrc so that calling \fIcvs\fR effectively calls git\-cvsserver\&.

By default, the commits are shown in reverse chronological order\&. This option makes them appear in topological order (i\&.e\&. descendant commits are shown before their parents)\&.
-.TP
-\-\-merge\-order
-When specified the commit history is decomposed into a unique sequence of minimal, non\-linear epochs and maximal, linear epochs\&. Non\-linear epochs are then linearised by sorting them into merge order, which is described below\&.
-
-Maximal, linear epochs correspond to periods of sequential development\&. Minimal, non\-linear epochs correspond to periods of divergent development followed by a converging merge\&. The theory of epochs is described in more detail at http://blackcubes\&.dyndns\&.org/epoch/: \fIhttp://blackcubes.dyndns.org/epoch/\fR\&.
-
-The merge order for a non\-linear epoch is defined as a linearisation for which the following invariants are true:
-
-.RS
-.TP 3
-1.
-if a commit P is reachable from commit N, commit P sorts after commit N in the linearised list\&.
-.TP
-2.
-if Pi and Pj are any two parents of a merge M (with i < j), then any commit N, such that N is reachable from Pj but not reachable from Pi, sorts before all commits reachable from Pi\&.
-
-Invariant 1 states that later commits appear before earlier commits they are derived from\&.
-
-Invariant 2 states that commits unique to "later" parents in a merge, appear before all commits from "earlier" parents of a merge\&.
-.LP
-.RE
-.IP
-
-.TP
-\-\-show\-breaks
-Each item of the list is output with a 2\-character prefix consisting of one of: (|), (^), (=) followed by a space\&.
-
-Commits marked with (=) represent the boundaries of minimal, non\-linear epochs and correspond either to the start of a period of divergent development or to the end of such a period\&.
-
-Commits marked with (|) are direct parents of commits immediately preceding the marked commit in the list\&.
-
-Commits marked with (^) are not parents of the immediately preceding commit\&. These "breaks" represent necessary discontinuities implied by trying to represent an arbitrary DAG in a linear form\&.
-
-\-\-show\-breaks is only valid if \-\-merge\-order is also specified\&.
