Now, let's take a look the second tool, cvs2git. For this conversion, I took a copy of a project I have used before (itsmyparty: https://github.com/Joustie/itsmyparty), like so:

 $ git clone [email protected]:joustie/itsmyparty_gitlab.git
 Cloning into 'itsmyparty_gitlab'...
 imac:git joostevertse$ cd itsmyparty_gitlab
 imac:itsmyparty_gitlab joostevertse$ tree
 .
 ├── attendees.rb
 ├── attendees.yml
 ├── atttendees.yml
 ├── itsmyparty.rb
....
 1 directory, 12 files

Then, I imported the source code into a CVS repository (I deleted the .git directory first):

 $ cvs import -m "dir structure" cvsexample joost start
 N cvsexample/machines.yml
 N cvsexample/itsmyparty.rb
 N cvsexample/presence.yml
 N cvsexample/atttendees.yml
.....
 No conflicts created by this import

As you can see, no conflicts were created by this import, which is great. We are now ready to run the conversions.
