svn2git for real men

By kenglish

On the server, set up the remote repositories:

1
2
3

mkdir project1.git
cd project1.git
git --bare init

Here’s a script to do them all in one shot, just modifiy the REPOS variable:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14

#!/bin/sh
 
REPOS="project1 project2 project3 project4"
 
for repo in $REPOS
do
    repo_dir="$repo.git"
    mkdir -p $repo_dir
    echo "Creating git directory  $repo_dir"
    cd $repo_dir
    git --bare init
    cd ..
done
exit

Now, on the workstation:

1
2

sudo apt-get install git-core git-svn
sudo gem install nirvdrum-svn2git --source http://gems.github.com

Create the authors.txt in the following format:

1
2

dburger = David Burger <email@email.com>
jdoe = John Doe <jdoe@doe.com>

For one project, do the following:

1
2
3
4
5

mkdir project1
cd project1
svn2git  https://svn.myserver.org/repos/ses --authors ../authors.txt
git remote add origin hailstorm.myserver.org:/home/kenglish/repotest/ses.git
git push --all

The script:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14
15
16
17
18
19
20
21
22

#!/bin/sh
 
REPOS="project1 project2 project3 project4"
 
for repo in $REPOS
do
    mkdir $repo
    cd $repo
 
    cmd="svn2git https://svn.myserver.org/repos/$repo --authors ../authors.txt"
    echo $cmd
    `$cmd`
    cmd="git remote add origin hailstorm.myserver.org:/home/kenglish/repotest/$repo.git"
    echo $cmd
    `$cmd`
    cmd="git push --all"
    echo $cmd
    `$cmd`
    cd ..
    echo "DONE EXPORTING $repo" 
done
exit

Don’t diss the shell script, I leave in the echoes in case i need to test stuff out…

Note: Another option for the authors file is place it in your home directory .svn2git/authors (e.g. /home/kenglish/.svn2git/authors). Svn2git will automatically detect it and use it.
Any questions? Comments?

Try using #!/bin/sh -x or “set -x” within the body of your shell script, near the beginning. It’ll echo every command that gets executed. No more need for echoing. Also, -e will exit on the first failed command, which is also very useful sometimes.
