git-svnimport(1)
================
v0.1, July 2005
NAME
----
git-svnimport - Import a SVN repository into git
SYNOPSIS
--------
'git-svnimport' [ -o <branch-for-HEAD> ] [ -h ] [ -v ] [ -d | -D ]
[ -C <GIT_repository> ] [ -i ] [ -u ] [-l limit_nr_changes]
[ -b branch_subdir ] [ -t trunk_subdir ] [ -T tag_subdir ]
[ -s start_chg ] [ -m ] [ -M regex ]
<SVN_repository_URL> [ <path> ]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
Imports a SVN repository into git. It will either create a new
repository, or incrementally import into an existing one.
SVN access is done by the SVN:: Perl module.
git-svnimport assumes that SVN repositories are organized into one
"trunk" directory where the main development happens, "branch/FOO"
directories for branches, and "/tags/FOO" directories for tags.
Other subdirectories are ignored.
git-svnimport creates a file ".git/svn2git", which is required for
incremental SVN imports.
OPTIONS
-------
-C <target-dir>::
The GIT repository to import to. If the directory doesn't
exist, it will be created. Default is the current directory.
-s <start_rev>::
Start importing at this SVN change number. The default is 1.
+
When importing incementally, you might need to edit the .git/svn2git file.
-i::
Import-only: don't perform a checkout after importing. This option
ensures the working directory and index remain untouched and will
not create them if they do not exist.
-t <trunk_subdir>::
Name the SVN trunk. Default "trunk".
-T <tag_subdir>::
Name the SVN subdirectory for tags. Default "tags".
-b <branch_subdir>::
Name the SVN subdirectory for branches. Default "branches".
-o <branch-for-HEAD>::
The 'trunk' branch from SVN is imported to the 'origin' branch within
the git repository. Use this option if you want to import into a
different branch.
-m::
Attempt to detect merges based on the commit message. This option
will enable default regexes that try to capture the name source
branch name from the commit message.
-M <regex>::
Attempt to detect merges based on the commit message with a custom
regex. It can be used with -m to also see the default regexes.
You must escape forward slashes.
-l <max_num_changes>::
Limit the number of SVN changesets we pull before quitting.
This option is necessary because the SVN library has serious memory
leaks; the recommended value for nontrivial imports is 100.
git-svnimport will still exit with a zero exit code. You can check
the size of the file ".git/svn2git" to determine whether to call
the importer again.
-v::
Verbosity: let 'svnimport' report what it is doing.
-d::
Use direct HTTP requests if possible. The "<path>" argument is used
only for retrieving the SVN logs; the path to the contents is
included in the SVN log.
-D::
Use direct HTTP requests if possible. The "<path>" argument is used
for retrieving the logs, as well as for the contents.
+
There's no safe way to automatically find out which of these options to
use, so you need to try both. Usually, the one that's wrong will die
with a 40x error pretty quickly.
<SVN_repository_URL>::
The URL of the SVN module you want to import. For local
repositories, use "file:///absolute/path".
+
If you're using the "-d" or "-D" option, this is the URL of the SVN
repository itself; it usually ends in "/svn".
<SVN_repository_URL>::
The URL of the SVN module you want to import. For local
repositories, use "file:///absolute/path".
<path>
The path to the module you want to check out.
-h::
Print a short usage message and exit.
OUTPUT
------
If '-v' is specified, the script reports what it is doing.
Otherwise, success is indicated the Unix way, i.e. by simply exiting with
a zero exit status.
