Done & submitted. The messages should spew only when in debug mode now.

Looks good. Not a "not deleted" in sight.

Done and submitted. Turns out I missed underscorifying CVS labels entirely :-(.

Well, it is definitely underscoring tags now, but (isn't there always a but?) apparently cvs doesn't allow tags to start with "_". Can we preface tags with something like "tag_" instead? That'll give users something easy to search against if they want to change the names.

vcp: unexpected stderr from 'cvs': cvs: cvs [tag aborted]: tag `_1_stuff' must start with a letter vcp: /usr/bin/cvs -Q -z9 -d/usr/big/cvs tag _1_stuff matt/A.txt returned 1 not 0

I've been trying to cvs to p4 conversions, but I've ran into a problem. It just won't do it! Here's my standard command and the output I get:

% vcp "cvs:helm/... -r 1.1:" "p4://depot/main/..." Revision (-r) or date (-D) specification missing Usage: vcp cvs:path/... -r foo # all files in path and below labelled foo vcp cvs:path/... -r foo: # All revs of files labelled foo and newer vcp cvs:path/... -r foo: -f # All revs of files labelled foo and newer, # including files not tagged with foo. vcp cvs:path/... -r 1.1:1.10 # revs 1.1..1.10 vcp cvs:path/... -r 1.1: # revs 1.1 and up

vcp cvs:path/... -D ">=2000-11-18 5:26:30" # All file revs newer than a date/time

## cvs -D and -f also supported

I've tried this well over a dozen of times in a sundry different fashions, but it just won't do it. What am I doing wrong?

TIA, Matt
