Description
Jack Repenning points out: There are cases where cvs2svn aborts due to surprises in the ,v files. In some cases, I don't think this is the right behavior; it would be better to ignore the anomaly and press on, with a warning at the end. Here are the two such cases I've spotted: L106, "branch XXX already has name YYY, cannot also have name ZZZ" L157, "XXX is not a valid tag or branch name" The second problem may be partially addressed by r8168's resolution of issue #1524. But there are probably other instances where cvs2svn exits when it could just warn, ignore, and move on instead. Since conversions take so long, this will often be a preferable behavior. Regarding the first problem, Jack threw out this idea: The mult-named branch thing is similar, though I haven't (yet) encountered it in [my repository]: cvs allows it, it's clear enough that it's a problem for SVN, but a notice at the end seems sufficient. In this case, I imagine I'd simply copy the branch to the additional name (as a manual finishing-up process). Maybe I'd rename the one you chose with the other name, 'cause that's the one I really want. ... But anyway, the conversion would be over, most people could get back to work, and there would be no data lost.
