Hi all,

I've experimented all the day with svn2git and I agree that v.2.0 should be fine to maintain a mirror repository. However for the time being I will stick to the minimal setup given by git-svn. I do not like to have all the branches and tags visible on gitorious. The git repository for the moment is only an experiment and having at disposal only the trunk is fine enough for most users. I found also a recipe to clone the repository so that git-svn can work with it. Here my workflow

# initialize a repo in t
mkdir t
cd t
git init
git fetch -f address@hidden:texmacs/texmacs.git '+refs/remotes/ *:refs/remotes/*'
# recreate the master branch
git checkout -b master trunk
# sync with svn
git svn init -s svn+ssh://address@hidden/texmacs
git svn rebase
# eventually push changes to the git repository
git push --mirror address@hidden:texmacs/texmacs.git

only drawback is that you need to use svn+ssh since git-svn does not accept to change protocol.
In this way I can maintain the repository in sync from different machines.

Best
max

I was trying to implement this but I'm not sure I want to pubish full email for authors. Author name can be retrived from Savannah. Why is important to have not only nick names in the repository?
I guess it's a good practice in git world to use pretty "author <email>" format for commit logs. Anyway, email addresses like author@64cb5145-927a-446d-8aed-2fb7b4773692
are nonsense. If retriving full email isn't convenient or leaks author's private information, I think format "author" is better than "author <author@UUID>".

PS: I fond this

http://jausoft.com/blog/2009/07/08/svn-to-git-migration-1/

which explain how to manually mirror the svn branches and tags in git. I think I prefer this than an automated script like svn2git. It allows me to understand better the implications of the operation.

I read it, very detailed and complicated:-)
When I mirrored texmacs svn repository to git repository, I thought to cleanup the branches/tags mess, it's very simple thanks to standard layout of texmacs repository:

$ git svn clone -s --authors-file=svn-authors \
svn://svn.savannah.gnu.org/texmacs
$ cd texmacs

create git tags:
$ git branch -a | grep "remotes/" | grep -v "remotes/origin" |
grep "/tags/" | while read t; do n=${t##*/}; git tag $n $t; done

create git branches:
$ git branch -a | grep "remotes/" | grep -v "remotes/origin" |
grep -v "/tags/" | while read t; do n=${t##*/}; git branch -- track $n $t; done

These command can be executed multiple times because git will fail for existed branches and tags.

I didn't do this because I wanted to let it be the original state, no my fingerprint.

And about the svn-sync way described in that blog, I'm opposite to it.
As I remember, svn-sync would introduce extra svn properties to record
synchronization state which are nonsense for git. The texmacs repository
isn't very big, I mirrored it directly with git-svn in about four hours.

I recommend you give svn2git a try, maybe it considers more details.

Yubao Liu
