Subject: [PATCH v2 1/1] cvsimport: add test illustrating a bug in cvsps

From: Heiko Voigt <[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 02 Mar 2009 18:59:36 +0100

Some cvs repositories may have time deviations in their recorded commits. This
is a test for one of such cases. These kind of repositories can happen if the
system time of cvs clients is not fully synchronised.

Consider the following sequence of events:

 * client A commits file a r1.1
 * client A commits file a r1.2, b r1.1
 * client B commits file b r1.2 using the same timestamp as a r1.1

This can be resolved but due to cvsps grouping its patchsets solely based
on the timestamp and never breaking these groups it outputs the wrong
order which then leads to a broken import.

I hit this bug when importing from a real repository which was originally
converted from another rcs based scm. Other import tools can handle this
correctly, e.g. parsecvs.
