gitweb-scraper

A tool to download patches from gitweb, and a second tool to rebuild a git repository from them.

Installation

1. Install ObjFW, and if you want TLS support, ObjOpenSSL
2. Run make
3. Copy gitweb-scraper and rebuild.sh where you want to have them

Usage

1. gitweb-scraper http://example.com foo.git
2. rebuild.sh foo.patches foo-git

Problems

• Rebuilding repositories with non-linear history won't work well
• Commit hashes are not preserved: At least the Commit and CommitDate properties of the rebuilt commits will be different.
