Bootstrapping a CVS repo from darcs with Version1 doesn't work

[scottm@…]

It looks like tailor is trying to add files to a directory that isn't checked out of CVS (yet). I suspect that what tailor really wants to do is a 'cvs import' of the initial version, subsequent versions should then use the normal sequence of cvs commands.

I tried to track down where in the tailor source all of this was occurring, but it wasn't obvious to a casual Ph.D. observer. :-)

tailor config file:

[DEFAULT]
verbose = True

[project]
target = cvs:target
start-revision = INITIAL
root-directory = /work/darcs-repos/GeoLocate-trans/workdir
state-file = tailor.state
source = darcs:source
subdir = .

[cvs:target]
module = GeoLocate
repository = /work/cvs-repos/GeoLocate

[darcs:source]
repository = /work/darcs-repos/GeoLocate

tailor's output:

+ CVSROOT=/work/cvs-repos
+ export CVSROOT
+ tailor -v -D --configfile GeoLocate.tailor
