Differences From:

File tools/cvs2fossil/lib/c2f_pcollrev.tcl part of check-in [67c24820c7] - Reworked the whole handling of meta data (author, commit message, plus project/branch information), so that revisions now store only the meta id, everything else is stored centrally. All the relevant pieces (author, cmessage, symbols, projects) now also get numeric ids assigned early instead of when being saved to the state. Project ids are loaded from the state now too. by aku on 2007-10-14 01:58:07. [view]

To:

File tools/cvs2fossil/lib/c2f_pcollrev.tcl part of check-in [3a00ac5aa2] - Due to quickly building memory pressure for large cvs repositories (thousands of revisions and symbol object) we have to save the pertinent information of a file immediately after it has been processed and then clear the memory. Inserted the basic skeleton for this into pass and file objects. by aku on 2007-10-23 02:29:55. [view]
