svn-fe(1) ========= NAME ---- svn-fe - convert an SVN "dumpfile" to a fast-import stream SYNOPSIS -------- [verse] mkfifo backchannel && svnadmin dump --deltas REPO | svn-fe [url] 3<backchannel | git fast-import --cat-blob-fd=3 3>backchannel DESCRIPTION ----------- Converts a Subversion dumpfile into input suitable for git-fast-import(1) and similar importers. REPO is a path to a Subversion repository mirrored on the local disk. Remote Subversion repositories can be mirrored on local disk using the `svnsync` command. Note: this tool is very young. The details of its commandline interface may change in backward incompatible ways. INPUT FORMAT ------------ Subversion's repository dump format is documented in full in `notes/dump-load-format.txt` from the Subversion source tree. Files in this format can be generated using the 'svnadmin dump' or 'svk admin dump' command. OUTPUT FORMAT ------------- The fast-import format is documented by the git-fast-import(1) manual page. NOTES ----- Subversion dumps do not record a separate author and committer for each revision, nor do they record a separate display name and email address for each author. Like git-svn(1), 'svn-fe' will use the name --------- user <user@UUID> --------- as committer, where 'user' is the value of the `svn:author` property and 'UUID' the repository's identifier. To support incremental imports, 'svn-fe' puts a `git-svn-id` line at the end of each commit log message if passed a URL on the command line. This line has the form `git-svn-id: URL@REVNO UUID`. The resulting repository will generally require further processing to put each project in its own repository and to separate the history of each branch. The 'git filter-repo --subdirectory-filter' command may be useful for this purpose. BUGS ---- Empty directories and unknown properties are silently discarded. The exit status does not reflect whether an error was detected.
