SVN to GIT

  1. Create commits authors file

    svn log --xml | grep author | sort -u | perl -pe 's/.*>(.*?)<.*/$1 = /' > users.txt
    
  2. Then allow the record to the form

    krasnovov = Krasnov Oleg Viktorovich <krasnovov@example.com>
    
  3. Cone repository

    • git svn clone http://my-project.googlecode.com/svn/ --authors-file=users.txt --no-metadata -s my_project
      
    • If repository so large and get timeout, use host with fast file system

    • For contine, execute command

      git svn fetch --authors-file=../users.txt
      
    • To clone to a specific revision use -rXXX:HEAD parameter

      git svn clone -rXXX:HEAD http://my-project.googlecode.com/svn/ --authors-file=users.txt --no-metadata -s my_project
      git svn fetch -rXXX:HEAD --authors-file=../users.txt
      
  4. Create .gitignore file

    git svn show-ignore > .gitignore
    
  5. Create backup

  6. Convert branches and tags

    for t in $(git for-each-ref --format='%(refname:short)' refs/remotes/tags); do git tag ${t/tags\//} $t && git branch -D -r $t; done
    for b in $(git for-each-ref --format='%(refname:short)' refs/remotes); do git branch $b refs/remotes/$b && git branch -D -r $b; done
    
  7. Remove tag and branch with suffix @xxx

    for p in $(git for-each-ref --format='%(refname:short)' | grep @); do git branch -D $p; done
    for p in $(git for-each-ref --format='%(refname:short)' | grep @); do git tag -d $p; done
    
  8. Push local repository to remote

    git branch -d trunk
    git remote add origin git@my-git-server:myrepository.git
    git push origin --all
    git push origin --tags
    

To synchronize the changes made in svn, restore from backup step №5 and repeat the steps.

git svn fetch --authors-file=../users.txt
