[fossil-users] Introducing FossGit -- a new CLI tool for conveniently mirroring Fossil to Git.

Introducing FossGit:

"Good news, everyone!  I just published a new gem!"
  - Dr. Farnsworth

As announced here, I published a simple new utility called FossGit for
creating and maintaining Git mirrors of Fossil repositories:

The rubygems page is:

https://rubygems.org/gems/fossgit

The Fossil repository is:

https://fossrec.com/u/apotheon/fossgit/index.cgi/index

The Git mirror (created/maintained by FossGit itself) is:

https://github.com/apotheon/fossgit/

It's basically a glorified shell script at this time.  It will probably
become much more at some point.

Happy holidays.

That sounds like a use case for what I've built, plus functionality
going the other way (Git->Fossil), which I haven't built (yet).  Of
course, all this stuff is handled by export and import commands for both
Fossil and Git, but I built something to mirror Fossil repositories to
Git repositories so I could simplify my life somewhat when doing that.

It seems like you have need of tools for import/export mirroring with
Subversion, too.

I only use git when I have to, generally when a project requires submitting
pull requests. In that case, I still track my local changes in Fossil. Then
I pull the latest into my clone of the git repo, merge the changes into my
work space, rebuild, retest abd repeat as needed. Then I commit the "final"
changes to my clone and send the pull request.

At work, the controls software group uses Fossil "internally", but the
company is still "standardized" on SVN (because the IT group's vision is
for "thin client" PCs that are fully interchangeable, which doesn't work
for my group because we need specialized tool chains that don't "play well"
with IT's vision). We use Fossil for our day-to-day work, only committing
releases to SVN.
