CVS importer doesn't import everything

Hi

RTC 3.0 Windows client
RTC 3.0 Linux Server

I'm using the CVS importer i.e. the "Import into Jazz" option that
available from the CVS Repositories page in Eclipse.

I have imported the CVS "HEAD", requesting all revisions. The import
seemed to complete OK but the changeset history seems incomplete ...
there no changeset earlier that June 2010 even though our CVS repository
has history dating back into 2004.

BTW: I can't see any mention of this CVS importer in the RTC 3.x Info
Center documentation . perhaps I've missed it.

cheers
Dave

I don't believe there is any official doc for the CVS importer but there is some on this wiki page:

https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/SCMImport

If you didn't specify a start, I would expect to get the full history. Are you sure the projects you imported have that long a history? One way to check would be to go to the earliest change set and see what the comment is and if the amount of changes in that change set makes sense for those changes.

There's certainly a complete history in the CVS repo .. using CVS in
Eclipse, I can see that many files have history dating back to Dec 2003,
when the original CVS import was done.

The other thing to check is the entry limit of the RTC SCM History view. By default, it is a fairly small number. You can increase it from the view menu of the History view by opening the Preferences dialog.
