The were designed +with very different goals in mind. + +git-svn is designed for an individual developer who wants a +bidirectional flow of changesets between a single branch in Subversion +and an arbitrary number of branches in git. git-svnimport is designed +for read-only operation on repositories that match a particular layout +(albeit the recommended one by SVN developers). + +For importing svn, git-svnimport is potentially more powerful when +operating on repositories organized under the recommended +trunk/branch/tags structure, and should be faster, too. + +git-svn mostly ignores the very limited view of branching that +Subversion has. This allows git-svn to be much easier to use, +especially on repositories that are not organized in a manner that +git-svnimport is designed for. + +COMMANDS +-------- +init:: + Creates an empty git repository with additional metadata + directories for git-svn. The Subversion URL must be specified + as a command-line argument. + +fetch:: + Fetch unfetched revisions from the Subversion URL we are + tracking. refs/remotes/git-svn will be updated to the + latest revision. + + Note: You should never attempt to modify the remotes/git-svn + branch outside of git-svn. Instead, create a branch from + remotes/git-svn and work on that branch. Use the 'commit' + command (see below) to write git commits back to + remotes/git-svn. + + See 'Additional Fetch Arguments' if you are interested in + manually joining branches on commit. + +commit:: + Commit specified commit or tree objects to SVN. This relies on + your imported fetch data being up-to-date. This makes + absolutely no attempts to do patching when committing to SVN, it + simply overwrites files with those specified in the tree or + commit. All merging is assumed to have taken place + independently of git-svn functions. + +rebuild:: + Not a part of daily usage, but this is a useful command if + you've just cloned a repository (using git-clone) that was + tracked with git-svn. Unfortunately, git-clone does not clone + git-svn metadata and the svn working tree that git-svn uses for + its operations. This rebuilds the metadata so git-svn can + resume fetch operations. A Subversion URL may be optionally + specified at the command-line if the directory/repository you're + tracking has moved or changed protocols. + +show-ignore:: + Recursively finds and lists the svn:ignore property on + directories.

It's simply not worth it to do +a useful translation when the original signal is weak. + +TRACKING MULTIPLE REPOSITORIES OR BRANCHES +------------------------------------------ +This is for advanced users, most users should ignore this section. + +Because git-svn does not care about relationships between different +branches or directories in a Subversion repository, git-svn has a simple +hack to allow it to track an arbitrary number of related _or_ unrelated +SVN repositories via one git repository. Simply set the GIT_SVN_ID +environment variable to a name other other than "git-svn" (the default) +and git-svn will ignore the contents of the $GIT_DIR/git-svn directory +and instead do all of its work in $GIT_DIR/$GIT_SVN_ID for that +invocation. The interface branch will be remotes/$GIT_SVN_ID, instead of +remotes/git-svn. Any remotes/$GIT_SVN_ID branch should never be modified +by the user outside of git-svn commands. + +ADDITIONAL FETCH ARGUMENTS +-------------------------- +This is for advanced users, most users should ignore this section. + +Unfetched SVN revisions may be imported as children of existing commits +by specifying additional arguments to 'fetch'. Additional parents may +optionally be specified in the form of sha1 hex sums at the +command-line. Unfetched SVN revisions may also be tied to particular +git commits with the following syntax: + + svn_revision_number=git_commit_sha1 + +This allows you to tie unfetched SVN revision 375 to your current HEAD:: + + `git-svn fetch 375=$(git-rev-parse HEAD)` + +Advanced Example: Tracking a Reorganized Repository +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +If you're tracking a directory that has moved, or otherwise been +branched or tagged off of another directory in the repository and you +care about the full history of the project, then you can read this +section. + +This is how Yann Dirson tracked the trunk of the ufoai directory when +the /trunk directory of his repository was moved to /ufoai/trunk and +he needed to continue tracking /ufoai/trunk where /trunk left off. + +------------------------------------------------------------------------ + # This log message shows when the repository was reorganized: + r166 | ydirson | 2006-03-02 01:36:55 +0100 (Thu, 02 Mar 2006) | 1 line + Changed paths: + D /trunk + A /ufoai/trunk (from /trunk:165) + + # First we start tracking the old revisions: + GIT_SVN_ID=git-oldsvn git-svn init \ + https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/ufoai/trunk + GIT_SVN_ID=git-oldsvn git-svn fetch -r1:165 + + # And now, we continue tracking the new revisions: + GIT_SVN_ID=git-newsvn git-svn init \ + https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/ufoai/ufoai/trunk + GIT_SVN_ID=git-newsvn git-svn fetch \ + 166=`git-rev-parse refs/remotes/git-oldsvn` +------------------------------------------------------------------------ + +BUGS +---- +If somebody commits a conflicting changeset to SVN at a bad moment +(right before you commit) causing a conflict and your commit to fail, +your svn working tree ($GIT_DIR/git-svn/tree) may be dirtied.
