This project contains all the tools required to do a conversion of an svn repository (server side, not a checkout) to one or more git repositories.
This is the tool used to convert KDE's Subversion into multiple Git repositories. You can find more description and usage examples at https://techbase.kde.org/Projects/MoveToGit/UsingSvn2Git
The svn2git repository gets you an application that will do the actual conversion. The conversion exists of looping over each and every commit in the subversion repository and matching the changes to a ruleset after which the changes are applied to a certain path in a git repo. The ruleset can specify which git repository to use and thus you can have more than one git repository as a result of running the conversion. Also noteworthy is that you can have a rule that, for example, changes in svnrepo/branches/foo/2.1/ will appear as a git-branch in a repository.
If you have a proper ruleset the tool will create the git repositories for you and show progress while converting commit by commit.
After it is done you likely want to run git repack -a -d -f to compress the pack file as it can get quite big.
Just mount your SVN folder, plus another working directory where Git repository will be created. Sample usage with input mounted in /tmp and output produced in /workdir:
docker build -t svn2git .
docker run --rm -it -v `pwd`/workdir:/workdir -v /var/lib/svn/project1:/tmp/svn -v `pwd`/conf:/tmp/conf svn2git /usr/local/svn2git/svn-all-fast-export --identity-map /tmp/conf/project1.authors --rules /tmp/conf/project1.rules --add-metadata --svn-branches --debug-rules --svn-ignore --empty-dirs /tmp/svn/
Run qmake && make. You get ./svn-all-fast-export.
(Do a checkout of the repo .git' and run qmake and make. You can only build it after having installed libsvn-dev, and naturally Qt. Running the command will give you all the options you can pass to the tool.)
You will need to have some packages to compile it. For Ubuntu distros, use this command to install them all:
sudo apt-get install build-essential subversion git qtchooser qt5-default libapr1 libapr1-dev libsvn-dev
To run all tests you can simply call the test.sh script in the root directory.
This will run all Bats based tests
found in .bats files in the directory test. Running the script will automatically
execute qmake and make first to build the current code if necessary.
If you want to run tests without running make, you can give --no-make as first parameter.
If you want to only run a subset of the tests, you can specify the base-name of one
or multiple .bats files to only run these tests like ./test.sh command-line svn-ignore.
If you want to investigate the temporary files generated during a test run,
you can set the environment variables BATSLIB_TEMP_PRESERVE=1 or BATSLIB_TEMP_PRESERVE_ON_FAILURE=1.
So if for example some test in svn-ignore.bats failed, you can investigate the failed case like
BATSLIB_TEMP_PRESERVE_ON_FAILURE=1 ./test.sh --no-make svn-ignore and then look
in build/tmp to investigate the situation.
there is a repository kde-ruleset which has several example files and one file that should become the final ruleset for the whole of KDE called 'kde-rules-main'.
You need to write a rules file that describes how to slice the Subversion history into Git repositories and branches. See https://techbase.kde.org/Projects/MoveToGit/UsingSvn2Git. The rules are also documented in the 'samples' directory of the svn2git repository. Feel free to add more documentation here as well.
create repository REPOSITORY NAME
[PARAMETERS...]
end repository
PARAMETERS is any number of:
repository TARGET REPOSITORYCreates a forwarding repository , which allows for redirecting to another repository, typically with someprefix.prefix PREFIXprefixes each file withPREFIX, allowing for merging repositories.description DESCRIPTION TEXTwrites aDESCRIPTION TEXTto thedescriptionfile in the repository
match REGEX
[PARAMETERS...]
end match
Creates a rule that matches paths by REGEX and applies some PARAMETERS to them. Matching groups can be created, and the values used in the parameters.
You need to make sure the regex matching a SVN directory path matches also the end slash (e.g. ./) otherwise Git fast-import will crash with an fatal: Empty path component found in input errors.
For example, the rule /project/trunk/.*/myFolder, should become /project/trunk/.*/myFolder/.
PARAMETERS is any number of:
-
repository TARGET REPOSITORYdetermines the repository -
branch BRANCH NAMEdetermines which branch this path will be placed in. Can also be used to make lightweight tags withrefs/tags/TAG NAMEalthough note that tags in SVN are not always a single commit, and will not be created correctly unless they are a single copy from somewhere else, with no further changes. See alsoannotate trueto make them annotated tags. -
[min|max] revision REVISION NUMBERonly match if revision is above/below the specified revision number -
prefix PREFIXprefixes each file withPREFIX, allowing for merging repositories. Same as when used in acreate repositorystanza.- Note that this will create a separate commit for each prefix matched, even if they were in the same SVN revision.
-
substitute [repository|branch] s/PATTERN/REPLACEMENT/performs a regex substitution on the repository or branch name. Useful when eliminating characters not supported in git branch names. -
action ACTIONdetermines the action to take, from the below three:exportI have no idea what this doesignoreignores this pathrecursetells svn2git to ignore this path and continue searching its children.
-
annotated truecreates annotated tags instead of lightweight tags. You can see the commit log withgit tag -n.
Include the contents of another rules file
Define variables that can be referenced later. ${VAR} in any line will be replaced by VALUE.
Please feel free to fill this section in.
You can access your newly rsynced SVN repo with commands like svn ls file:///path/to/repo/trunk/KDE.
A common issue is tracking when an item left playground for kdereview and then went from kdereview to its final destination. There is no straightforward way to do this. So the following command comes in handy: svn log -v file:///path/to/repo/kde-svn/kde/trunk/kdereview | grep /trunk/kdereview/mplayerthumbs -A 5 -B 5 This will print all commits relevant to the package you are trying to track. You can also pipe the above command to head or tail to see the first and last commit it was in that directory.
