Yesterday on #git DrNick wanted a script to update a pre-1.5.0
Git repository to be like a 1.5.0 (and later) style repository.
This basically means rewriting the remotes into .git/config, setting
up wildcard tracking branches under refs/remotes and deleting the
old tracking branches from the refs/heads namespace.
Much earlier I had cobbled together a short shell script that does
this for a *working directory repository*. Please don't use it on
a bare repository, at least not without editing, as it is hardcoding
the config options. ;-)
Here it is:
cat <<END_OF_SCRIPT >upgrade.sh
#!/bin/sh
##
## Upgrades a pre-1.5.0 repository to a 1.5.0-style layout.
## Use at your own risk. I've used it to upgrade many of
## my own repositories, but I also know what I'm doing. ;-)
##
sh remotes2config.sh; # from git.git/contrib
git config core.bare false
git config core.logallrefupdates true
for r in $(git remote)
do
old="`git config --get-all remote.$r.fetch | sed s,^.*:refs/heads/,,`"
if [ -z "$old" ]
then
echo "No fetch lines for $r."
continue
fi
echo "Converting $r..."
git config --replace-all remote.$r.fetch +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/$r/*
git fetch $r
for r in $old
do
case "$r" in
*:*) echo "Not deleting $r" ;;
*) git branch -D $r ;;
esac
done
done
END_OF_SCRIPT
