Hi, I'd like git to be able to import mercurial-exported patches. This short Python program does it: ------------------------------------- #! /usr/bin/python import os import sys import re import tempfile def run(cmd): print cmd os.system(cmd) patch = sys.argv[1] p = open(patch).read() author = re.search("# User (.+)", p).groups()[0] p = p.split("\n") while not p[0].startswith("# Parent"): del p[0] i = 1 while not p[i].startswith("diff -r "): i += 1 commit_message = "\n".join(p[1:i]) _, filename = tempfile.mkstemp() f = open(filename, "w") f.write(commit_message) f.close() run("git apply %s" % patch) run("git ci -a --author='%s' -F %s" % (author, filename) ) --------------------- How should this be implemented in git? Should I try to extend "git-am.sh" to handle it? For better imagination, this is how the patch looks like: http://paste.debian.net/21210/ Thanks for any feedback, Ondrej -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
