I followed someone's advice to pipe svn-fe's output into fossil's git
importer, and the result is just awful. I blame svn-fe for not handling
the "standard" svn repository layout properly. What I have are svn dump
files, and lots of them. The steps I've found that will import all
branches and tags properly require git-svn, and are as follows:
# If you have a dump file...
svnadmin create svn_myrepos
svnadmin load svn_myrepos < myrepos.dmp
# Now that you have a repository directory...
mkdir git_myrepos
cd git_myrepos
git svn init -s file:///home/myuser/svn_myrepos
git svn fetch
# at this point, it's the standard import
git fast-export --all | fossil import --git myrepos.fossil
I've attached a script to do this in batch, along with setting a standard
password on all of the imported repositories (I needed it).

"""***Warning*** - This script works on Unix only

For those of us who read the subversion manual, and did a standard layout, we
find that "svn-fe path_to_repository | fossil import --git repos.fossil" just
isn't good enough, because svn-fe doesn't properly handle branches and tags.
To handle things properly, we need to use "git-svn -s" somewhwere along the
data transfer path.
This script will take a directory of subversion dmp files with standard layout
(trunk, root, tags) and turn them into fossil repositories if you don't have a
dmp file, you can either "svnadmin dump /path_to_repos > repos.dmp or alter
the script to use repository paths directly (jump to git svn init)"""
