Hello,
I am trying to create a git repo that tracks an SVN repo with multiple
branch directories.
Is there any way to get this done easily?
It seems the 'git svn' command allows only to specify one 'trunk',
'branches' and 'tag' directory.
The example usecase is the OpenOffice.org repo (it's just a private
experiment). I got this svn-sync'ed within 4 evening sessions, the SVN
size is about ~8 GB with ~270000 commits. Unfortunately their structure is
branches/
contrib/
cws/
dist/
patches/
tags/
trunk/
where 'cws' and 'branches' both hold branches.
I have seen a web-based article telling one should
git svn clone <URL>/trunk repo.git
first, and then hack the repo.git/.git/config file manually to add entries
like
[svn-remote "b1"]
url = $SVN_REPO_URL/branches/b1
fetch = :refs/remotes/b1
[svn-remote "b2"]
url = $SVN_REPO_URL/branches/b2
fetch = :refs/remotes/b2
[svn-remote "c1"]
url = $SVN_REPO_URL/cws/c1
fetch = :refs/remotes/c1
...
to later use
git svn fetch <branchname>
for each branch. But even if that worked, their seems to be no easy way to
detect newly created branches etc. Additionally, I get two entries listed
in 'git branch' for each, one of which with extension '@1' (seems to point
ot the branch point). This doesn't seem to be the case for repo's with
only one branch directory converted the normal way.
Any ideas?
Best regards
Guido
