[OpenWrt-Devel] SVN to GIT transition

[Etienne Champetier]

Hi All,

Here are some commands to make a "full" git repo, from the "trunk" repo
(the only complaint that everyone agrees on)
We keep git commit sha's for the trunk, and we add all branches/tags

It needs some more tunning, but it's a good start :)

1) clone the trunk repo
git clone git://git.openwrt.org/openwrt.git openwrt-git-svn
cd openwrt-git-svn

2) init git svn
git svn init -T"/trunk" -t"/tags" -b"/branches" --prefix="svn/" svn://
svn.openwrt.org/openwrt

3) tell git that we already have trunk
git update-ref refs/remotes/svn/trunk refs/remotes/origin/master

4) download all branches/tags (except trunk because we already have it)
git svn fetch

resulting .git/config
