Subject: Re: git svn clone with funky tags layout
Jim Garrison venit, vidit, dixit 05.11.2013 18:16:
I'm doing a one-time migration of an svn project. For historical reasons
our repo layout is weird:
trunk/reporting/reporting_app
tags/something_else
tags/reporting_app-2.3.45
tags/reporting_app-2.4.46
tags/reporting_app-2.4.0
tags/reporting_app-2.4.1
tags/more_stuff
I want to migrate the trunk plus only the 2.4.* tags. I tried giving
a wildcard in the config
[svn-remote svn]
noMetadata = 1
url = http://subversion.tld.com/svn/DevJava
fetch = trunk/Reporting/reporting_app:refs/remotes/trunk
tags = tags/reporting_app-2.4.*:refs/remotes/tags/*
but this does not work:
Invalid pattern in 'tags/reporting_app-2.4.*': reporting_app-2.4.*
On the off chance that it might work I also tried
tags =
tags/reporting_app-2.4.*:refs/remotes/tags/reporting_app-2.4.*
but that produces the same error message.
Is there a way to accomplish this or should I just move the tags I want to
import into a separate directory in subversion first? I'd rather not disturb
svn but can do that if it's the only way.
Depending on whether there are more tags to skip or more to include, you
can
A) use the standard refspec (--tags=tags/) and remove the superfluous tag
branches once git-svn is finished or
B) use multiple tag refspecs without wildcard:
tags = tags/reporting_app-2.4.0:refs/remotes/tags/2.4.0
tags = tags/reporting_app-2.4.1:refs/remotes/tags/2.4.1
I may have mixed up A and B ;)
Thanks for the response. Since there was a lot of reorganization to be done I
decided to just copy all the disparate directories into a new correctly
structured tree in svn first, and import from there. Worked great.
