Bride of the reposturgeon!

<p>Another big repository conversion – the <a href="http://www.hercules-390.org/">Hercules</a> project – brings with it some new bug fixes and features, so <a href="http://www.catb.org/esr/reposurgeon/">reposurgeon 1.3 has shipped</a>.</p>

<p>The cvspreen command has been renamed to cvslift. cvslift now generates real tag objects corresponding to cvs2svn-generated tags. Comments that read ‘*** empty log message ***’ are no longer coalesced (cvs2svn generates these). There are various bug fixes, including for a crash bug in rebuild after expunge. The default set of files to be preserved is now set properly in a repository-type-dependent manner.</p>

<p>I’ve moved the code to Python 3 (but don’t worry as it will run in 2.7.2 under the -3 option). No real reason except that it was about time for me to get familiar with 2to3 and the forward-porting process.</p>

<p>The general offer to <a href="http://esr.ibiblio.org/?p=3839">convert your project’s repo</a> is still open. It may not be for long. however; the Hercules conversion turned up fewer bugs and deficiencies than my last one (as expected) and the next will probably turn up fewer still.</p>
