++added: SVN import
Git comes with 2 SVN-related tools: git-svnimport and git-svn. git-svnimport is for importing revisions (a one-shot import, or incrementally); git-svn is a 2-way gateway to a SVN repository, similar to SVK, more useful for maintaining a local branch than for importing a repository (IMHO). We'll use git-svnimport. Those tools use an authors file to map username->real name (option -A) it looks like this:: rms = Richard M. Stallman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> toto = Another User <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ... Common invokation: git-svnimport -v -I .gitignore -A ../authors.txt file:///home/me/svn_repo To ignore branches: git-svnimport -v -I .gitignore -A ../authors.txt -b idontexist file:///home/me/tests/svn_repo git-svnimport assumes there's a trunk, a branches, and a tags directory (names are configurable) and ignores other directories. You may run into troubles if your layout changed during your former SVN life. You'll usually perform the import several times before getting what you want. For this reason it's preferable to rsync the SVN repository locally, or create it from a dump: rsync -av rsync://svn.sv.gnu.org::svn/myproject svn_repo wget http://svn.gna.org/daily/myproject.dump.gz svnadmin init svn_repo zcat myproject.dump.gz | svnadmin load svn_repo/ -- forwarded from https://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/[EMAIL PROTECTED]://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance _______________________________________________ Savannah-cvs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/savannah-cvs
