The Samba team (jra and others) use svn and would like me to keep more uptodate the svn branch (which I sync manually now by applying the patches from the kernel git tree by hand) for the two cifs git trees. Basically I need to do something like: git log fs/cifs save off each of the commits which hit fs/cifs which are not in the svn tree yet patch and "svn checkin" each of the commits to the svn tree Has anyone done any scripts to --- export -- to an svn tree from part of a git tree? I don't want to go to having my svn tree as the master and import into git from svn. -- Thanks, Steve ``` ## Patrick Doyle, 2007-07-05 13:50 Subject: Re: git-svnexport Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/e2a1d0aa0707050650m729018f0x9e355ed23e8156af%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: <524f69650707031231y2ab7b9a3o7769f64b9876326@mail.gmail.com> ``` On 7/3/07, Steve French wrote: > I noticed a git-svnexport, but don't see an easy way to do the more > common task ... export a replica (via svn) of a kernel directory whose > master copy is in git (no changes come through svn, all changes come > through git). > > The Samba team (jra and others) use svn and would like me to keep more > uptodate the svn branch (which I sync manually now by applying the > patches from the kernel git tree by hand) for the two cifs git trees. > Basically I need to do something like: > > git log fs/cifs > save off each of the commits which hit fs/cifs which are not in the svn tree yet > patch and "svn checkin" each of the commits to the svn tree > > > Has anyone done any scripts to --- export -- to an svn tree from part > of a git tree? > I don't want to go to having my svn tree as the master and import into > git from svn. > If you're interested I (may) have attached a script I was using to learn how to import a git maintained project into a subversion maintained project. It is obviously a "play with this and try this out" script, not a production script in any sense of the word, but it might help point you in the direction you want to go. The gist of the script is that I used .git/info/grafts to graft the chain of git commits from my other project onto the most recent commit from the svn maintained project (fetched via "git-svn clone") and then I committed the result back to SVN. All of the cruft around that is simply, "blow away what I tried before and start from scratch all over again" cruft I used when I was testing the concept. hth --wpd ```
