Re: rcs->cvs

[Chuck Moss <mossc @ MOSSC . COM>]

converting from RCS to CVS is pretty easy since CVS uses RCS format files.

I have a script that traverses a dir tree and extracts all RCS files into
another tree to be copied into CVS.  It is attached.

Warning! not extensively tested.   No warranty.  Use at your own risk etc.

It may not get dot files.  I didn't polish it up much so be kind on
critiques. ;-)

#  Description: This script will search through a directory tree and find
#  all the rcs files (,v extension). It will make a copy of the tree
#  containing only RCS files without the RCS subdir.  This can then be
#  imported into cvs just by copying the tree
#
#  Args:        $1 is new root directory for this tree
