NAME |
|
---- |
|
svn-fe - convert an SVN "dumpfile" to a fast-import stream |
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS |
|
-------- |
|
[verse] |
|
mkfifo backchannel && |
|
svnadmin dump --deltas REPO | |
|
svn-fe [url] 3<backchannel | |
|
git fast-import --cat-blob-fd=3 3>backchannel |
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION |
|
----------- |
|
|
|
Converts a Subversion dumpfile into input suitable for |
|
git-fast-import(1) and similar importers. REPO is a path to a |
|
Subversion repository mirrored on the local disk. Remote Subversion |
|
repositories can be mirrored on local disk using the `svnsync` |
|
command. |
|
|
|
Note: this tool is very young. The details of its commandline |
|
interface may change in backward incompatible ways. |
|
|
|
INPUT FORMAT |
|
------------ |
|
Subversion's repository dump format is documented in full in |
|
`notes/dump-load-format.txt` from the Subversion source tree. |
|
Files in this format can be generated using the 'svnadmin dump' or |
|
'svk admin dump' command. |
|
|
|
OUTPUT FORMAT |
|
------------- |
|
The fast-import format is documented by the git-fast-import(1) |
|
manual page. |
|
|
|
NOTES |
|
----- |
|
Subversion dumps do not record a separate author and committer for |
|
each revision, nor a separate display name and email address for |
|
each author. Like git-svn(1), 'svn-fe' will use the name |
|
|
|
--------- |
|
user <user@UUID> |
|
--------- |
|
|
|
as committer, where 'user' is the value of the `svn:author` property |
|
and 'UUID' the repository's identifier. |
|
|
|
To support incremental imports, 'svn-fe' puts a `git-svn-id` line at |
|
the end of each commit log message if passed a URL on the command |
|
line. This line has the form `git-svn-id: URL@REVNO UUID`. |
|
|
|
The resulting repository will generally require further processing |
|
to put each project in its own repository and to separate the history |
|
of each branch. The 'git filter-branch --subdirectory-filter' command |
|
may be useful for this purpose. |
|
|
|
BUGS |
|
---- |
|
Empty directories and unknown properties are silently discarded. |
|
|
|
The exit status does not reflect whether an error was detected. |
