From: Pascal Obry Date: Mon, 26 Oct 2009 18:49:57 GMT Subject: git-svn changing file:// to svn+ssh:// Message-ID: <4AE5EF55.2070902@obry.net> I'm working on preparing Git SVN mirrors. I had tested my procedure on a small project and it was working fine. On a large project it is failing. Here is what I have done: I have cloned the repository using: $ git svn clone --prefix=svn/ file:///path/repo \ --revision=15314:HEAD --trunk=trunk/project \ --tags=tags/project --branches=branches/project \ --branches="branches/global/*/project" project Not simple, ok but working :) Now I have converted the file:// to svn+ssh:// using: $ git gc $ git filter-branch --msg-filter \ 'sed "s,git-svn-id: file:///path/repo,git-svn-id: svn+ssh://server/repo,g"' \ $(cat .git/packed-refs | awk '// {print $2}' | grep -v 'pack-refs') $ rm -fr .git/svn I have edited .git/config to change the url string too. Up to there, no problem. But when trying to rebase and reconstruct all rev_map files with: $ git svn rebase I get the following lines again and again: Rebuilding .git/svn/svn/trunk/.rev_map.f8352e7e-cb20-0410-8ce7-b5d9e71c585c ... Done rebuilding .git/svn/svn/trunk/.rev_map.f8352e7e-cb20-0410-8ce7-b5d9e71c585c Rebuilding .git/svn/svn/trunk/.rev_map.f8352e7e-cb20-0410-8ce7-b5d9e71c585c ... Done rebuilding .git/svn/svn/trunk/.rev_map.f8352e7e-cb20-0410-8ce7-b5d9e71c585c ... The file .git/svn/svn/trunk/.rev_map.f8352e7e-cb20-0410-8ce7-b5d9e71c585c is in fact not created. What could be wrong? How should I proceed to debug this? Any help appreciated. Last note I've tried all this with Git 1.6.4 and 1.6.5. Thanks, Pascal. -- --|------------------------------------------------------ --| Pascal Obry Team-Ada Member --| 45, rue Gabriel Peri - 78114 Magny Les Hameaux FRANCE --|------------------------------------------------------ --| http://www.obry.net - http://v2p.fr.eu.org --| "The best way to travel is by means of imagination" --| --| gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-key F949BD3B
