<h3 class="section">3.16 Importing from CVS</h3>
<p>Monotone is capable of reading CVS files directly and importing them
into a database. This feature is still somewhat immature, but
moderately large “real world” CVS trees on the order of 1GB have
successfully been imported.
</p>
<p>Note however that the machine requirements for CVS trees of this size
are not trivial: it can take several hours on a modern system to
reconstruct the history of such a tree and calculate the millions of
cryptographic certificates involved. We recommend experimenting with
smaller trees first, to get a feel for the import process.
</p>
<p>We will assume certain values for this example which will differ in your case:
</p><ul>
<li> Your domain name, <code>example.net</code> in this example.
</li><li> Your key name, <code>import@example.net</code> in this example.
</li><li> Your project name, <code>wobbler</code> in this example.
</li><li> Your database name, <samp>test.mtn</samp> in this example.
</li><li> Your CVS repository path, <samp>/usr/local/cvsroot</samp> in this example.
</li><li> The CVS module name for your project, <code>wobbler</code> in this example.
</li></ul>
<p>Accounting for these differences at your site, the following is an
example procedure for importing a CVS repository “from scratch”, and
checking the resulting head version of the import out into a workspace:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">$ mtn --db=test.mtn db init
$ mtn --db=test.mtn genkey import@example.net
$ mtn --db=test.mtn --branch=net.example.wobbler cvs_import /usr/local/cvsroot/wobbler
$ mtn --db=test.mtn --branch=net.example.wobbler checkout wobber-checkout
</pre></div>
</body>
