new project request template. (Requires Fedora Account)
- Create source group in Fedora Account System (<scm>project should be the group name)
- Create source repo
- Log into hosted1
- Create new project space:
$ sudo /usr/local/bin/hosted-setup.sh <project name> <project admin> <scm type>
- <project name> must use the same case as the scm repo
- You're likely to end up with 'Command failed: columns username, action are not unique' - this can be safely ignored as this only tries to tell you that you are giving admin access to a person already having admin access

How to import data from a cvs repo into git repo
Often users request their git repos to be imported from an existing cvs repo. This is a two step process as follows:
git-cvsimport -v -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.fedoraproject.org/cvs/docs -C <dir> <cvs_module>
sudo git clone --bare --no-hardlinks </pathto/cvsimported/repo> /git/<git_dir>.git/
Example:
git-cvsimport -v -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.fedoraproject.org/cvs/docs -C translation-quick-start-guide translation-quick-start-guide sudo git clone --bare --no-hardlinks translation-quick-start-guide/ /git/translation-quick-start-guide.git/
