NAME

       cvs2bzr - convert a cvs repository into a bazaar repository

SYNOPSIS

       cvs2bzr --options OPTIONFILE

DESCRIPTION

	      cvs2bzr [OPTION...] OUTPUT-OPTION CVS-REPOS-PATH

       Convert a CVS repository into a Bazaar repository, including history.

OPTIONS

	      Configuration via options file:

       --options=PATH
	      read  the conversion options from PATH.  This method allows more flexibility than using command-line options.  See documentation for
	      info

	      Output options:

       --dumpfile=PATH
	      path to which the data should be written

       --dry-run
	      do not create any output; just print what would happen.

	      Conversion options:

       --trunk-only
	      convert only trunk commits, not tags nor branches

       --encoding=ENC
	      encoding for paths and log messages in CVS repos.  If option is specified multiple times, encoders are tried in order until one suc-
	      ceeds.  See http://docs.python.org/lib/standard-encodings.html for a list of standard Python encodings.

       --fallback-encoding=ENC
	      If all --encodings fail, use lossy encoding with ENC

       --retain-conflicting-attic-files
	      if a file appears both in and out of the CVS Attic, then leave the attic version in a SVN directory called "Attic"

	      Symbol handling:

       --symbol-transform=P:S
	      transform  symbol names from P to S, where P and S use Python regexp and reference syntax respectively.  P must match the whole sym-
	      bol name

       --symbol-hints=PATH
	      read symbol conversion hints from PATH

       --symbol-default=OPT
	      specify how ambiguous symbols are converted.  OPT is "heuristic" (default), "strict", "branch", or "tag"

       --force-branch=REGEXP
	      force symbols matching REGEXP to be branches

       --force-tag=REGEXP
	      force symbols matching REGEXP to be tags

       --exclude=REGEXP
	      exclude branches and tags matching REGEXP

       --keep-trivial-imports
	      do not exclude branches that were only used for a single import (usually these are unneeded)

	      Subversion properties:

       --username=NAME
	      username for cvs2svn-synthesized commits

       --auto-props=FILE
	      set file properties from the auto-props section of a file in svn config format

       --mime-types=FILE
	      specify an apache-style mime.types file for setting svn:mime-type

       --eol-from-mime-type
	      set svn:eol-style from mime type if known

       --default-eol=STYLE
	      default svn:eol-style for non-binary files with undetermined mime types.	STYLE is "binary" (default), "native",	"CRLF",  "LF",	or
	      "CR"

       --keywords-off
	      don't set svn:keywords on any files (by default, cvs2svn sets svn:keywords on non-binary files to "Author Date Id Revision")

       --keep-cvsignore
	      keep .cvsignore files (in addition to creating the analogous svn:ignore properties)

       --cvs-revnums
	      record CVS revision numbers as file properties

	      Extraction options:

       --use-cvs
	      use CVS to extract revision contents (slower than --use-rcs but more reliable) (default)

       --use-rcs
	      use RCS to extract revision contents (faster than --use-cvs but fails in some cases)

	      Environment options:

       --tmpdir=PATH
	      directory to use for temporary data files (default "cvs2svn-tmp")

       --co=PATH
	      path to the "co" program (required if --use-rcs)

       --cvs=PATH
	      path to the "cvs" program (required if --use-cvs)

       --sort=PATH
	      path to the GNU "sort" program

	      Partial conversions:

       --pass=PASS
	      execute only specified PASS of conversion

       -p [START]:[END], --passes=[START]:[END]
	      execute passes START through END, inclusive (PASS, START, and END can be pass names or numbers)

	      Information options:

       --version
	      print the version number

       -h, --help
	      print this usage message and exit with success

       --help-passes
	      list the available passes and their numbers

       --man  write the manpage for this program to standard output

       -v, --verbose
	      verbose (may be specified twice for debug output)

       -q, --quiet
	      quiet (may be specified twice for very quiet)

       --write-symbol-info=PATH
	      write information and statistics about CVS symbols to PATH.

       --skip-cleanup
	      prevent the deletion of intermediate files

       --profile
	      profile with 'hotshot' (into file cvs2svn.hotshot)
