X-Git-Tag: v0.99.2~51^2~5
X-Git-Url: https://git.verplant.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=aff9f97a4fd98e34b0dfde06dacd9dbd82de0b58;p=git.git

cvs2git: use CVS (rather than RCS) to extract the different
file versions.

This allows you to do the conversion (although slowly) from
a remote repository, and besides, it's one less thing to worry
about when you don't need to look up the CVS Attic directories
etc.
