All of the interesting technological, artistic or just plain fun subjects I'd investigate if I had an infinite number of lifetimes. In other words, a dumping ground...

Tailor CVS to Git migration

Tailor VersionOne

Tailor is a tool to migrate changesets between Aegis, ArX, Bazaar?, Bazaar-NG, CVS, Codeville?, Darcs, Git, Mercurial, Monotone, Perforce, Subversion? and Tla? repositories. There are OtherTools with a similar goal, most of them tied and sometime more specialized on a particular system.

See SourceRepository and TargetRepository for more details on supported version-control systems, and ConfigurationFile for how to describe to tailor what you want it to do.

It perform its job executing several MigrationSteps, using a ReplayMechanism? that basically fetches the changesets from any of the source backends and effectively replay each one on the target system. The process can be configured very deeply in several ways, from tweaking a relatively simple configuration file to writing pre- and post- PythonHooks?.

It was written by Lele and it is implemented in Python.

Be sure to RTFM :-)
