There are various reasons git-cvsserver needs to manipulate the current

1. Temporary empty working directory (with index) for certain operations
that require an index file to work.
2. Use a temporary directory with temporary file names for doing
merges of user's dirty sandbox state with latest changes in
repository.
3. Coming up soon: Set up an index and either a valid or empty

Make git-cvsserver understand some options inspired by
git-daemon, namely --base-path, --export-all, --strict-paths.
Also allow the caller to specify a whitelist of allowed
directories, again similar to git-daemon.
While already adding option parsing also support the common
--help and --version options.
Rationale:
While the gitcvs.enabled configuration option already
offers means to limit git-cvsserver access to a repository,
there are some use cases where other methods of access
control prove to be more useful.
E.g. if setting up a pserver for a collection of public
repositories one might want limit the exported repositories
to exactly the directory this collection is located whithout
having to worry about other repositories that might lie around
with the configuration variable set (never trust your users ;)

If multiple roots are specified (e.g. because we use

- gitcvs.dbuser
- gitcvs.dbpass
The default values emulate the current behavior exactly for

The dbdriver/dbuser/dbpass variables are added for completness.
No other backend than SQLite is tested yet.
The dbname variable on the other hand is useful with this backend
already (to not discriminate against other possible backends
it was not splitted in dbdir and dbfile).
Both dbname and dbuser support dynamic variable substitution where
the available variables are:
%m -- the CVS 'module' (i.e. GIT 'head') worked on
%a -- CVS access method used (i.e. 'ext' or 'pserver')

The config option gitcvs.allbinary may be set to force all entries to

In the future the gitattributes system will probably be a more

entries lines sent to the CVS client now have their kopts set via the

In the interim it might be better to not just have a all-or-nothing

The commithash for updating the ref is obtained from a call to

git-cvsserver is analogous to git-receive-pack; a checking from a cvs
client to a central server is like a git-push from a working repository.
Therefore it's nice to use the same access control (and email sending)
that a receive-pack would perform.
This patch tests for an executable update hook; if it is it is run with
the ref being updated and the old and new hashes as normal. If the
update hook returns an error code the update is aborted and the ref is
never updated. The cvsserver returns "error 1" to the client to signal
there was an EPERM error.

If a repository was checked out via git-cvsserver and then later a new
file is added to the git repository via some other method; a CVS update
wasn't fetching the new file.
It would be reported as a new file as
A some/dir/newfile.c
but would never appear in the directory.
The problem seems to be that git-cvsserver was treating these two cases
identically, as "A" type results.
1. New file in repository
2. New file locally
In fact, traditionally, case 1 is treated as a "U" result, and case 2
only is treated as an "A" result. "A", should just report that the file
is added locally and then skip that file during an update as there is
(of course) nothing to send.
In both these cases there is no working revision, so the checking for
"is there no working revision" will return true. The test for case 2
needs refining to say "if there is no working revision and no upstream
revision". This patch does just that, leaving case 1 to be handled by
the normal "U" handler.
I've also updated the log message to more accurately describe the
operation. i.e. that "A" means that content is scheduled for addition;
not that it actually has been added.

The Eclipse client uses cvs update when that menu option is triggered.
And doesn't like the standard cvs update response. Give it *exactly* what
it wants.
And hope the other clients don't lose the plot too badly.

Initial checkouts were failing to create Entries files under Eclipse.
Eclipse was waiting for two non-standard directory-resets to prepare for a new
directory from the server.
This patch is tricky, because the same directory resets tend to confuse other
clients. It's taken a bit of fiddling to get the commandline cvs client and
Eclipse to get a good, clean checkout.

Eclipse CVS clients have an odd way of perusing the top level of
the repository, by calling update on module "". So reproduce cvs'
odd behaviour in the interest of compatibility.
It makes it much easier to get a checkout when using Eclipse.
A few things to satisfy Eclipse's strange habits as a cvs client:
- Implement Questionable
- Aliased rlog to log, but more work may be needed
- Add a space after the U that indicates updated
git-cvsserver is highly functional. However, not all methods are implemented,
and for those methods that are implemented, not all switches are implemented.
All the common read operations are implemented, and add/remove/commit are
supported.
Testing has been done using both the CLI CVS client, and the Eclipse CVS
plugin. Most functionality works fine with both of these clients.
Currently git-cvsserver only works over SSH connections, see the
Documentation for more details on how to configure your client. It
does not support pserver for anonymous access but it should not be
hard to implement. Anonymous access will need tighter input validation.
In our very informal tests, it seems to be significantly faster than a real
CVS server.
This utility depends on a version of git-cvsannotate that supports -S and on
DBD::SQLite.
