I am trying to import a BitKeeper repo into a (new) git repo.
I am trying with the script bk2git.py that I found on the web.
This does not quite work - I fear script is no longer working with the current
git release. (I am using the current git release.)
If I have understood the script correctly, it does repeated bk checkouts and
imports the updates the git repo diff of the (next) checkout etc.
It seems this script tries to do so by settings environment vars
GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY and GIT_INDEX_FILE
to point at the git repo.
The bk checkout are done at a temp. dir (tmp_dir).
The following lines fail
os.system("cd %s; git-ls-files --deleted | xargs
git-update-cache --remove" % tmp_dir)
with: fatal: Not a git repository
xargs: git-update-cache: No such file or directory
The problem seems to be that the script cd's into the temp dir (which is not a
git repo) and the git-ls-files fails to find a git repo there.
I think the issue might be that an earlier version of git was perhaps able to
find the repo by means of the env. vars mentioned above.
Any idea if/how I can fix this?
Thanks for any ideas and best regards
Christoph
(Sorry, my python and git skills are so far very limited.)
PS: I have attached the script I downloaded from the net.

Tired of finding that other people are helping themselves to your good
liquor at BYOB parties? Take along a candle, which you insert and
light after you've opened the bottle. No one ever expects anything
drinkable to be in a bottle which has a candle stuck in its neck.
