Nice utility for checking out cvs repository from behind a restrictive firewall. If
- you're behind a firewall and can't tcp to port 2401
- have regular http internet access (perhaps via http proxy)
- viewcvs or cvsweb or FishEye or Chora is running for the target cvs repository
|
then instead of |
you can use |
|
cvs checkout |
cvsgrab -url .. -proxyHost .. -proxyPort .. |
|
cvs update |
cvsgrab -proxyHost .. -proxyPort .. |
|
cvs diff |
cvsgrab -diff -proxyHost .. -proxyPort .. |
Here are some usage examples. SVN on the other hand usually runs over HTTP/HTTPS itself so you shouldn't need cvsgrab to use it.
Notice: If CVSGrab doesn't work on some server, and it used to work, try to update your version of cvsgrab. Since this tool uses screen-scraping to get content out of the web interface for the target cvs repository, it is very sensible to changes in the page layout and can break when there is an update on the site.
