Thus, typically you would use it as follows: + +........................................................................... +jas@mocca:~/src/libtasn1$ git log --pretty --numstat --summary | ~/src/git2cl/git2cl > ChangeLog +jas@mocca:~/src/libtasn1$ +........................................................................... + +The output format is specified by: + +link:http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Change-Logs.html[] + +In the future, git2cl may be modified to run this command itself, +similar to how cvs2cl works. + +My inspiration for writing this tool was the +link:http://www.red-bean.com/cvs2cl/[cvs2cl] tool, which I am using in +several projects. Replacing it is a necessary condition for me to +seriously consider switching from CVS to GIT for my projects. + +Currently, git2cl lacks much of the flexibility in git2cl. Sheesh, +git2cl doesn't even have command line parameters! + +The canonical home page for git2cl is: +link:http://josefsson.org/git2cl/[] and its repository can be found at +link:http://repo.or.cz/w/git2cl.git[]. + +Support +------- + +Try talking to mailto:simon@josefsson.org[Simon Josefsson]. |
