The remote helper now has an import capability which invokes svn-dump-fast-export with a dump file. I'm maintaining a branch of svn-dump-fast-export [2] that I intend to merge into git.git soon- I've already sent some patches from there to the list. I'd appreciate it if someone could review this series (or the corresponding code on GitHub). David and I will hopefully finish "memory" this week, and I'll start writing an SVN client that's able to dump a remote repository to a file (sort of a stripped down version of `svnsync` + `svnadmin dump`) towards the later half of this week. -- Ram [1]: Branch "memory" of http://github.com/barrbrain/svn-dump-fast-export [2]: Branch "git-merge" of http://github.com/artagnon/svn-dump-fast-export ``` ## Nazri Ramliy, 2010-05-26 02:50 Subject: Re: [GSoC update] git-remote-svn: Week 4 Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/AANLkTimu5d2ofkjERW8zcgIGqsnbnGazsDaltL1r6n6H%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: ``` > I'd appreciate it if someone could review this > series (or the corresponding code on GitHub).

Would it be able to automatically convert an svn repo that started life without the trunk/branches/tags hierarchy, but was added after-the-fact? I know I might be asking too much here :) I'm currently planning on migrating my $DAY_JOB team from svn to git, and I'm thinking of testing your work if it could do the above without manual intervention. For what it's worth, I'm happy with git-svn, and just thought that I might be able to give you feedback since I'm currently in the midst of migrating. nazri ``` ## Nazri Ramliy, 2010-05-26 10:33 Subject: Re: [GSoC update] git-remote-svn: Week 4 Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/AANLkTims7CyMUwBb6kBUuheuZerKrlyx-e1zpeaTCvkx%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: ``` On Wed, May 26, 2010 at 10:50 AM, Nazri Ramliy wrote: > Would it be able to automatically convert an svn repo that started > life without the trunk/branches/tags hierarchy, but was added > after-the-fact? Sorry for my ignorance, after googling around I think I've found what I wanted (svn2git). nazri. ``` ## Ramkumar Ramachandra, 2010-05-26 11:01 Subject: Re: [GSoC update] git-remote-svn: Week 4 Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/AANLkTikMulA_5YMjyIxiFKm6Avd3tohNUxs_Bjfk08Rd%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: ``` Hi, On Wed, May 26, 2010 at 12:33 PM, Nazri Ramliy wrote: > On Wed, May 26, 2010 at 10:50 AM, Nazri Ramliy wrote: >> Would it be able to automatically convert an svn repo that started >> life without the trunk/branches/tags hierarchy, but was added >> after-the-fact? This project is still at its early stages. While this is certainly a desirable feature, we have to get a lot of other things done before we can implement this. > Sorry for my ignorance, after googling around I think I've found what > I wanted (svn2git). No issues. It'll take another 2 months before this project can be tested by the public. -- Ram ```
