cvs import forgets files

[Lars Brueckner]

Hello,

I found that a cvs import does not import all
files it should. The only testcase if have is
the mozilla source code.

I have a test script that creates a fresh local
repo (see below). 
The following files are missing in the export
(to be precise, there is no sign of these files
 in the cvs repo at all)

diff filelist filelist-cvs
5391d5390
< ./extensions/tasks/resources/content/contents.rdf
5395d5393
< ./extensions/tasks/resources/locale/en-US/contents.rdf

< ./xpinstall/packager/windows/.cvsignore
24281d24269
< ./xpinstall/wizard/windows/setuprsc/.cvsignore

So far the bug has hit me on Debian (stable and unstable),
can anyone reproduce this on other systems.

Here is my script:

cd $TESTDIR

# download moz source

# Remove files from previous run

# Extracts moz source to mozilla/
test ! -d mozilla && tar -xzf $SRCARCH

## Mozilla source ships with CVS directorys
## wipe them
find mozilla -type d -name CVS | xargs rm -rf {}

# init cvs

cvs -d $CVSROOT init

# import moz
cd mozilla
cvs -d $CVSROOT import -I ! -m "" mozillacvs ibranch starttag
cd ..

# export moz
cvs -d $CVSROOT export -r HEAD mozillacvs

# report files that are in mozilla but not mozillacvs
cd mozilla
find . -type f | sort > ../filelist
cd ..

cd mozillacvs
find . -type f | sort > ../filelist-cvs
cd ..

diff filelist filelist-cvs

I hope someone can track this down.

Regards,
Lars
