========= | |
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. | |
