Error in rcs file in httpd-2.0 CVS repository
I'm in the process of testing out the cvs2svn.py converter, and the
converter found an inconsistency in the httpd-2.0 repository.
The file
/httpd-2.0/docs/manual/misc/Attic/known_client_problems.html,v
Contains
APACHE_1_2_X:1.3;
which is a tag at rev 1.3, while all other rcs declarations of that
symbolic name are a branch. For example:
APACHE_1_2_X:1.6.0.2
Note that the second to last number is a zero--this is indicative of a
branch.
Anyway, this should be fixed (in fact, it needs to be fixed in order to
convert the repository to svn), and the solution is merely to change the
offending line to
APACHE_1_2_X:1.3.0.2;
(Don't forget the semicolon--it's the last symbolic name on that file,
so it's necessary.)
Can someone with the appropriate admin-fu take care of this?

Don't know about soon, but we are looking into it.

Is that mean the Apache httpd project going to use Subversion instead of CVS
soon?

Well, it's a showstopper, so I thought I'd shoot out a mail about it
right away.
I'll make a local copy of the httpd repository, fix that tag, and see
how far I can get.

Just to let you know, this is the only problem that I can find. I
successfully converted the entire httpd-2.0 repository.
It took 5 hours and 58 minutes and has 14,381 revisions. :-)

If no objections I'll do this next week.
Was this the only problem you encountered during the conversion?
