It also seems to skip some steps in the history, maybe because the log
messages are extremely similar (excatly the same). However,
considering every change happens with a time difference of about 5
minutes, it shouldn't be that hard to tell the difference.
the default time window is 3 hours (constants.cc, cvs_window).
this is conservatively high due to the fact that authors and changelogs
typically change on different checkins, and that some trees (eg. gcc
accessed over a slow modem with high lock contention) have relatively
lengthy checkin skew.
it might be too long though. it was just a guess.
Shall I assume this part needs a lot more hacking? Considering I've
lived in depth with CVS since ca. 1998, I think I'm up for that, and
could contribute.
I wouldn't say it needs a *lot* more hacking. it has imported some
substantial (multi GB) CVS trees successfully. what it probably needs
are:
- tuning of the time window parameter, possibly dynamically
- fixes to less-central bits of information being mangled or
dropped during the import (such as symbols, which you fixed,
thanks!)
- it will need a bit of an overhaul in terms of the thing it
synthesizes, when the work on the changesets branch merges
in.
