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. |
