Attempt of a git-svn-switch

One of my projects relies heavily on many SVN repositories I use through git-svn.

The upstream SVN URL has changed recently and I found incredibly complex and time-consuming to do this (apparent) simple change.

Afterwards, I think it would have been simpler for me and more robust to add a "switch" command to git-svn... But anyway, I've done a shell script and I do not have more time to work on it. It is not rocket science but it may be useful to others...

#! /bin/sh

# Switch the SVN URL of a local git-svn repository

# git-svn-switch <old-url-substring> <new-url-substring>

# Do a fetch and replace in the URL old-url-substring by new-url-substring. # The rationale for substring is to be able to process many git-svn repository

# Typical use case: # git-svn-switch http://svn.cri.ensmp.fr/svn https://scm.cri.ensmp.fr/svn # or to update a bunch of git-svn repositories in the same directory: # for i in *; do (cd $i; git-svn-switch http://svn.cri.ensmp.fr/svn https://scm.cri.ensmp.fr/svn); done

# Basically implement https://git.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/GitSvnSwitch # and add a reset to one version in the past to be sure to have new stuff # to fetch from the SVN server. # It guesses that the previous svn version is the current - 1

# Irresponsible of this: Ronan.Keryell at wild-systems.com # I think afterwards it would have been easier to add a switch option to # git svn instead of hacking this way...

# Switch tracing mode on, so that if something goes wrong we can figure # out where to resume later, back-track and so on: set -vx

old_url_string="$1" new_url_string="$2"

old_url=`git config --get svn-remote.svn.url`

# Do the URL rewriting (we hope there are no '|' in the URL): new_url=`echo "$old_url" | sed -e "s|$old_url_string|$new_url_string|"`

# Get the previous svn revision so that we can reset to it to be sure we # will fetch something (well, we guess here that the previous version is # current - 1): current_svn_revision=`git svn info | awk '/^Revision:/ { print $2 - 1 }'`

# Go back to previous version: git svn reset -r $current_svn_revision

git config --replace-all svn-remote.svn.url "$new_url" git svn fetch git config --replace-all svn-remote.svn.url "$old_url" git svn rebase -l git config --replace-all svn-remote.svn.url "$new_url" git svn rebase
