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 incrementally, 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.
|
|
|
|
-r::
|
|
Prepend 'rX: ' to commit messages, where X is the imported
|
|
subversion revision.
|
|
|
|
-I <ignorefile_name>::
|
|
Import the svn:ignore directory property to files with this
|
|
name in each directory. (The Subversion and GIT ignore
|
|
syntaxes are similar enough that using the Subversion patterns
|
|
directly with "-I .gitignore" will almost always just work.)
|
|
|
|
-A <author_file>::
|
|
Read a file with lines on the form
|
|
+
|
|
------
|
|
username = User's Full Name <email@addr.es>
|
|
|
|
------
|
|
+
|
|
and use "User's Full Name <email@addr.es>" as the GIT
|
|
author and committer for Subversion commits made by
|
|
"username". If encountering a commit made by a user not in the
|
|
list, abort.
|
|
+
|
|
For convenience, this data is saved to $GIT_DIR/svn-authors
|
|
each time the -A option is provided, and read from that same
|
|
file each time git-svnimport is run with an existing GIT
|
|
repository without -A.
|
|
|
|
-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_rev>::
|
|
Specify a maximum revision number to pull.
|
|
+
|
|
Formerly, this option controlled how many revisions to pull,
|
|
due to SVN memory leaks. (These have been worked around.)
|
|
|
|
-P <path_from_trunk>::
|
|
Partial import of the SVN tree.
|
|
+
|
|
By default, the whole tree on the SVN trunk (/trunk) is imported.
|
|
'-P my/proj' will import starting only from '/trunk/my/proj'.
|
|
This option is useful when you want to import one project from a
|
|
svn repo which hosts multiple projects under the same trunk.
|
|
|
|
-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".
|
|
|
|
<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.
