A re-implementation of the cvssync architecture to be more modular, including a separate external process that interacts as a cvs client.

What is done:

• mtn_cvs pull, push and takeover work with side branches and all sorts of strange setups (see tests) and are now attribute based

What needs to be done:

• implement changed files
• implement sane branch connecting (or share with cvs_import)
• share the changeset-ification logic with cvs_import (I use the most simple approach for now)
• write documentation
• write migration helpers for the old branch

What can be put into mainline:

• the piece_table abstraction can be shared with cvs_import (once I had committed the change)
• all automate extensions (the synchronization commands are about to change again to use attributes, so they might wait)
• the mtn_automate class (C++ wrapper library to access monotone via automate)
• the mtn_cvs directory infrastucture can be put into mainline but can wait as well until it's finished

Status: Work in Progress
