I understand I can perform a conversion of a CVS repository to GIT excluding all NIGHTLY_XXXX build tags by doing the following
cvs2git --exclude='NIGHTLY_.*' --blobfile=git-blob.dat --dumpfile=git-dump.dat --username=dev /opt/mycvsrepository/mymodule
But what is the format of the command line arguments if I also want to remove more than 1 wildcard? ie
"NIGHTLY_ " and "BETA_RELEASE_ " and "RC_*"
Many thanks in advance
You can construct a more complicated regular expression that matches all of the tag names that should be excluded, like
cvs2git --exclude='(NIGHTLY|BETA_RELEASE|RC)_.*' \
--blobfile=git-blob.dat --dumpfile=git-dump.dat \
--username=dev /opt/mycvsrepository/mymodule
But it is probably easier to use the --exclude
option multiple times; eg,
cvs2git --exclude='NIGHTLY_.*' \
--exclude='BETA_RELEASE_.*' \
--exclude='RC_.*' \
--blobfile=git-blob.dat --dumpfile=git-dump.dat \
--username=dev /opt/mycvsrepository/mymodule
Sorry to answer my own question
but thanks to this amazing https://regex101.com/ site I realized I need to give it as a regular expression
so the format would be
--exclude='(NIGHTLY_.* )|(BETA_RELEASE_.* )|(RC_.*)'
