Hi, It looks like the CVS enlistme...
Hi,
It looks like the CVS enlistment only looks at the HEAD branch and not other branches, which possibly misses quite a lot of development. Could it be possible to fetch all branches?
Yes, for CVS we currently import only the HEAD. In fact, for all source control systems, we restrict our importer to a single line of development.
If I recall correctly, it wouldn't be terribly difficult to import a different branch from CVS, but we haven't had too many requests for this yet. The vast majority of CVS projects are running on the HEAD.
However, that's just changing from the HEAD to another single branch. I think you are asking about importing all branches in the repository in one fell swoop.
Importing all branches at once is a bit harder. To avoid recounting the same code on every branch where it appears, what really needs to be done is to measure the work done
, not the net output
. Currently, Ohloh measures the net output (a much easier task), and counts the number of commits along the way. So there's a bit of a world shift internally that would need to happen, and it's much more complicated. It's not impossible, and I'd like us to reach that point someday.
Robin,
about but we haven't had too many requests for this yet
... I request it! my project is very subdivided and almost any of the code is hosted on HEAD. And the project is HUUUGE, so basicly Ohloh is losing a big piece of information.
regards,
massa
