This is a Monkey Puzzle

Purpose

A place svn and git can peacefully co-exist and be experimented with. Why? Because I'd rather make mistakes here, than the public repositories I work with.

Steps

• Created a svn directory here
• Committed a couple of files.

• cd to working copy and svn info:

  URL: https://tinkermate.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/monkey-puzzle
  Repository Root: https://tinkermate.googlecode.com/svn
  Repository UUID: 097f617c-e63f-0410-b65c-95cbd7f2326a
  Revision: 179
  Node Kind: directory
  Schedule: normal
  Last Changed Author: abstractrobot.org
  Last Changed Rev: 179
  Last Changed Date: 2009-02-06 11:48:34 +0000 (Fri, 06 Feb 2009)
  

• create a users file for git to maps svn authors to git users.

  abstractrobot.org = Simon Gregory <my@email.org>
  

• Clone svn repostiory using authors file whilst keeping commit messages unchanged. There's also a -s option for trunk branch recognition if you need it.

  git svn --authors-file=/path/to/git-svn-authors clone --no-metadata https://tinkermate.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/monkey-puzzle monkey-puzzle
  

• cd to newly created git repository and make it remote

  cd monkey-puzzle
  git remote add origin git@github.com:simongregory/monkey-puzzle.git
  git push origin master
