After the discussions lately regarding the gcc svn mirror. I'm coming up with a recipe to set up your own git-svn mirror. Suggestions on the following.
// Create directory and initialize git mkdir gcc cd gcc git init // add the remote site that currently mirrors gcc // I have chosen the name gcc.gnu.org *1* as my local name to refer to // this choose something else if you like git remote add gcc.gnu.org git://git.infradead.org/gcc.git // fetching someone else's remote branches is not a standard thing to do // so we'll need to edit our .git/config file // you should have a section that looks like: [remote "gcc.gnu.org"] url = git://git.infradead.org/gcc.git fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/gcc.gnu.org/* // infradead's mirror puts the gcc svn branches in its own namespace // refs/remotes/gcc.gnu.org/* // change our fetch line accordingly [remote "gcc.gnu.org"] url = git://git.infradead.org/gcc.git fetch = +refs/remotes/gcc.gnu.org/*:refs/remotes/gcc.gnu.org/* // fetch the remote data from the mirror site git remote update // set up git-svn // gcc has the standard trunk/branches/tags naming so use -s // add a prefix so git-svn uses the metadata we just got from the // mirror so we don't have to get everything from the svn server // the --prefix must match whatever you chose in *1*, the trailing // slash is important. git svn init -s --prefix=gcc.gnu.org/ svn://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc // your config should look like this now: [core] repositoryformatversion = 0 filemode = true bare = false logallrefupdates = true [remote "gccmirror"] url = git://git.infradead.org/gcc.git fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/gccmirror/* [svn-remote "svn"] url = svn://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc fetch = trunk:refs/remotes/gcc.gnu.org/trunk branches = branches/*:refs/remotes/gcc.gnu.org/* tags = tags/*:refs/remotes/gcc.gnu.org/tags/* // Try and get more revisions from the svn server // this may take a little while the first time as git-svn builds // metadata to allow bi-directional operation git svn fetch
Happy Hacking
