git-svn feature idea

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hey guys,
Lately I've been doing a lot of permanent subversion to git
conversions, and I keep running into braindead repo structures that
give me pain to export.  The main one is this:

trying to check out MyProject:

trunk/MyProject
trunk/OtherProject
tags/MyProject-1.0
tags/MyProject-1.1
tags/OtherProject-1.0

So you see I can't just specify to git-svn that tags is the tags dir.
I know a workaround (check out each tag separately and then use git
fetch to put them all in the same repo) but that's really inefficient.

So really what would be great would be to be able to do the following:

git svn clone $repo --trunk=trunk/MyProject --tag=tags/MyProject-1.0
(and --branch would be great too)

Anyway, I am fairly well versed with perl, so I could try my hand at
writing such a feature, but I wouldn't really know where to start or
if anyone other than me is even interested in something this.

Thoughts?
