Solution to my BK import problems :-): msg#00062

Subject: Solution to my BK import problems :-)
OK, I've found a solution that fulfills my requirements:

- it's fast
- it preserves execute permissions on imported files
- it preserves timestamps on imported files

The solution? Use CVS as an intermediary. So to import GNU bash (for example) into a BK repo and not lose any of this information:

bk setup bash-2
mkdir bash-import
cvs -d .../bash-import init
tar xjvf bash-2.05b.tar.bz2
cd bash-2.05b
cvs import -d -m import bash import v2_05b
cd ..
bk import -tCVS -F bash-import/bash bash-2

After this is done, a bk -r get -T on a clone of the repo appears to produce the desired results.
