Migrate a subversion repository to git
Start with creating a users.txt file where the svn users are mapped to an email address for git.
echo "ncopa = Natanael Copa <ncopa@example.com>" > users.txt
Create a temp work area.
mkdir proj-tmp
Init the git repository. If your svn repo does not have the standard trunk branches and tags dirs you shouldnt use the --stdlayout. You can also use -T trunk -b branches -t tags.
cd proj-tmp git svn init svn://svn.alpinelinux.org/proj --stdlayout
Connect the users.txt to the empty git repository so users are remapped.
git config svn.authorsfile ../users.txt
Fetch and import the svn repository. This might take some time.
git fetch
Now we can create a bare repository and upload it to dev.alpinelinux.org/gitroot.
cd .. git clone --bare proj-tmp proj.git scp -r proj.git dev.alpinelinux.org:/gitroot
