It's a darcs backend for fast importers. This means that it allows you to export patches/commits from a darcs repo and import to any version control system where a fast importer is implemented. Current features: - According to its name, it tries to be really fast, even for large repos. - Independent. It has been tested with git fast-import, hg fastimport and bzr fast-import. (Let me know if you know other fast-importers!) - It supports both (darcs1 and darcs2) darcs repo formats. - It supports incremental conversions. More info on the homepage: http://vmiklos.hu/project/darcs-fast-export/ Including a list of alternatives, where I try to compare them to darcs-fast-export. Any feedback or comment is appreciated. I'm not on the bazaar and the mercurial list, so there please CC me. Thanks. _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list darcs-users@darcs.net http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users ``` ## zooko, 2008-11-11 02:39 Subject: Re: [ANNOUNCE] darcs-fast-export Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/AC24F62F-9CFC-442D-8744-813F1930C2F7%40zooko.com In-Reply-To: <20081111015313.GB24201@genesis.frugalware.org> ``` Hello Miklos Vajna: Thanks for announcing this project. I looked at the "alternatives" section, and you wrote: "tailor is a nice any2any VCS converter, but the end result can easily differ to the original repo because tailor replays all the changesets itself, while darcs-fast-export just leaves this task to darcs." If you can show an example of the end result differing from the original repo then that is a bug in tailor, and please report it! Thanks.

Example: http://git.frugalware.org/gitweb/gitweb.cgi?p=frugalware-current.git;a=commit;h=b75189e1689d268f7efa4610ff12c48a67221dc0 Original darcs repo: http://ftp.frugalware.org/pub/archive/other/darcs/frugalware-current/ If you have a look at the history of the tailor darcs repo, you can see I contributed a number of fixes later to fix these (where 'these' means the ones which were pointed out by this particular conversion only) issues. ```
