Hi,

This feature was useful with importing https://openib.org/svn/gen2 .

Sasha

This add '-S' option. When specified svn-import will try to parse
commit message for 'Signed-off-by: ...' line, and if found will use
the name and email address extracted at first occurrence as this commit
author name and author email address. Committer name and email are
extracted in usual way.

Thanks.

I do not think the first signed-off-by is necessarily the author
of the change, so we are risking miscrediting (or misblaming) a
wrong person.  Having said that, using the committer information
has the same miscredit problem, so this change might be Ok, but
I am not sure if it adds much improvement.

I will wait for an ack/nack from somebody who use svnimport and
know it well.

BTW, I do not appreciate the first six lines of your message
being _before_ the proposed commit log message.  Please have it
between "---\n" (that comes immediately after your own
"Signed-off-by:") and the diffstat, like this:

        This add '-S' option. When specified svn-import will try to...
        ... in usual way.

Right, there is such risk, so this feature is optional and by default is
"off".

Sure.

BTW, what about to importing subdirectories, like this:

 <trunk>/path/to/subdir
 <branches>/path/to/subdir

Is this could be improvement?

I somehow had an impression that svnimport dealt with the
reversed layout already, although $project/{trunk,branches,tags}
layout is assumed by default; maybe I was mistaken.

If the tool can automatically detect the layout the remote
project employs, and adjust the default accordingly, I would
imagine that would be a useful addition.

At least I didn't succeed with reversed layout. With option
-T <trunk>/$project import works but only for trunk branch, attempts
to specify branch as -b <branches> or -b <branches>/$project don't help,
the same is with tags.

Not really automatically, but $project may be passed as option argument
in command line (let's say -p or -P), then git-svnimport will attempt to
parse such SVN repo layout:

  <trunk>/$project
  <branches>/<names>/$project
  ...

I will verify the patch (it worked only once with our specific project -
OpenSM) and then will post.

That's true. The problem is that it wants the tag or branch name as the
last component of the path.

A more generic solution would be to use wildcards in the branch/tag
specification, to allow more than one wildcard, and to be able to
specify the exact form of the branch or tag name on the git side.

All of this should be specified in the repository's git config file,
not on the command line.


Somebody who wants to implement that is certainly invited to do so.
(I don't have time for that at the moment, unfortunately.)

Or perhaps just to specify path of the project (or sub-project) after
trunk/branches*/ . Like in this patch:

It is for incremental imports? So we will not need to reproduce exact
command line for each git-svnimport run? Good idea.
