script to retroactively add commitids to past openbsd commits
1###OpenBSD commitid generator
2
3A work in progress to assign CVS provenance-style `commitid` identifiers to
4all revisions of all files in OpenBSD's CVS trees.
5
6####Usage
7
8Paths used here are hard-coded in `openbsd-commitid.rb`.
9
101. Download pristine sources to `/var/cvs`:
11
12 `$ cvsync`
13
142. Duplicate just-downloaded tree to `/var/cvs-commitid`, since these files
15will get modified:
16
17 `$ rsync -a --delete /var/cvs/. /var/cvs-commitid/.`
18
193. Run this script:
20
21 `$ ruby openbsd-commitid.rb`
22
23**NOTE**: This script relies on recently added changes to OpenBSD's `rlog` and
24`cvs` tools:
25
26- `cvs admin -C` to set a revision's `commitid`
27- `rlog -E` and `rlog -S` to control the revision separators in `rlog` output,
28 since the default line of dashes appears in old commit messages
