Unable to import Cygwin CVS repository fails on 32-bit builds #2

Closed me-and closed 10 years ago

Attempting to clone the Cygwin source repository fails as below:

$ git cvsimport -v -d :pserver:anoncvs@cygwin.com:/cvs/src src
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/add/test/.git/
Running cvsps...

This command was introduced in 1.11.1.  Cvsps
will use log instead, but PatchSet numbering

David Rothenberger has also hit this, and reports it only affects 32-bit builds, not 64-bit; I've not verified that myself yet.

Probably relevant: test script t9200-git-cvsexportcommit.sh fails in the 32-bit build but not the 64-bit one. Raised that as issue #4.

Lots of inconsistent behaviour today, but now I can't get CVS imports to work in either 32- or 64-bit. Stepping away from the computer for a while to see if taking a break produces new insight.

Well isn't that exciting. The bump from Git v2.0.2 to v2.0.4 (4063623e621), together with a new build environment, appears to have fixed this.
