I don't know if that was eventually fixed, but I'm closing this item because Savannah is not really involved in fixing this.

Hi,

The documentation says:
"Exports and tagging (tags and branches) are not supported at this stage."
http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-cvsserver.html

Your best option is to submit a patch to the Git developers and have it included in their next release (they make new releases often).

We follow the Git evolution by using the binary packages uploaded at backports.org, which are fairly recent (currently 1.5.4.2).

See for example https://savannah.gnu.org/support/?106307

Hi,

the GSL project recently changed from cvs to git @ savannah as its main source-repository. One important point was that cvs could still be used as a client to follow the development.

However, the cvsserver provided by git for GSL does not have any tags, not even the one added directly in the gut repository.

Since GSL is often used on number-crunching systems were software is only very slowly installed and often new software not at all, we have to use cvs to follow the GSL development on these production-systems.

Is it possible to provide all "git-tags" in the cvs repository "faked" by git?
It would be nice if this could be implemented for GSL.

Thanks.
