Hi Eric. I'm out of spare time and I still unable to import my repo.
The code of SVN.pm is too complex. Please help me.
Here's the list of my issues:
* I think git-svn doesn't handle the case, when a tag is deleted.
I expected it to rename the ref from "tags/tagname" to
"tags/tagname@rev", but that doesn't happen.
If a tag is replaced, there's no way to tell what was the previous
state of that tag: git-svn just rewrites the ref.
On the contrary, the temporary refs (with "@rev" suffix), used for
re-import subdir tags are kept after successful reimport, although
they have no usage.
* As I said already, I have 25k revisions and 200 tags created from
subdirs in trunk. This increases the import time from 2h to 12h.
I would bear it, if it had to be done once, but fetching a new
revision may cause re-import of all 25k revisions too.
You should implement some mechanism to find the parent branches of
subdir tags. Maybe the unused refs I mentioned in the previous issue
are good candidates for that, but I would name them somehow
different to distinguish with deleted/replaced tags/branches.
* There are mistake commits in the svn history, similar to this:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r21255 | xxx_xxxxxx_xxxxxxxxx | 2012-03-02 18:46:30 +0300 (Fri, 02 Mar 2012) | 1 line
Changed paths:
A /tags/dmagentenabler-4.1.31/DMAgent (from /tags:20998)
Delivery 4.1.31
------------------------------------------------------------------------
git-svn tries to creates a tag, containing dirs with other tags.
Technically, behaves correctly, but it hangs, because of the size of
the commit.
To solve it, I had to edit the svn dump file:
Node-path: tags/dmagentenabler-4.1.31/DMAgent
Node-kind: dir
Node-action: add
-Node-copyfrom-rev: 20998
-Node-copyfrom-path: tags
+Prop-content-length: 10
+Content-length: 10
+
+PROPS-END
Revision-number: 21256
It creates an empty dir, instead of copying. Since the author
noticed the mistake, he immediately deleted the dir in the next
revision, so it works.
