[RFC] mtn to git conversion script

Hi,

I developed a script that converts a monotone repository into a git one (exact clone), I want to contribute it so everybody can use it.

However, I might have not done it correctly.

This is the gist of the script:

mtn update --revision #{@id} --reallyquiet git ls-files --modified --others --exclude-standard -z | git update-index --add --remove -z --stdin git write-tree git write-raw < /tmp/commit.txt git update-ref refs/mtn/#{@id} #{@git_id}

branches.each do |e|
    git update-ref refs/heads/#{e} #{@git_id}
end

I wrote "git write-raw" which takes the commit text as is, and puts it into the repository.

I've read about 'fast-import' but I'm not sure if it would be more efficient, because you would have to parse the output of different mtn tools.

What do you think? Does it makes sense to have a 'write-raw' command? Or should I somehow use 'fast-import'?

Best regards.
