Relative path patch reverted #11

Closed egassemcinatas closed 8 years ago

egassemcinatas commented 8 years ago

The patch to allow relative destination paths (commit 09547d1a77) was (probably unintentionally) reverted in commit 5f2ee87eb. This smells like manual version mangement of crap-clone.c ;-). You can most easily re-apply the patch with "git cherry-pick 09547d1" on the master branch.

Actually, it was intentional. Unfortunately, it was incompatible with how CVS interprets the cvsroot string. CVS allows cvs -d host/path. I haven't implemented all CVS formats for the cvsroot, but the ones I do support, I want to keep compatible with CVS.

I have reimplemented this, in a manner compatible with CVS: a cvsroot starting with ./ is a relative path. Also I have added support for the CVS :fork: and :local: methods, again allowing relative paths.
