[OSGeo-Discuss] Experiences moving from SVN to GIT by keeping existing TRAC ?

[thomas bonfort]

Sandro,
Both mapserver and proj.4 were migrated from trac/svn to git(hub). The
plain git (not github) part can be done by "git svn" and the following
script that creates a lookuptable that matches svn revisions with git
shas. From that lookuptable you can update your trac db to replace
r1234 instances by their git sha.

#!/bin/sh

# This script creates a 'lookup table', matching SVN revision IDs with
GIT revision IDs
# Run it inside a GIT repository that is imported from SVN with "git svn".
#
# Usage:
# createLookupTable > lookupTable.txt

# Creates a lookup table between SVN IDs and Git IDs
git rev-list --all --pretty=medium > revlist.txt;

# Now extract the git hash and the svn ID. Then we join lines
pair-wise and we have our table
cat revlist.txt | grep git-svn-id | sed -e 's/git-svn-id: [a-z0-9
\#A-Z_\/:\.-]\{1,\}@\([0-9]\{1,5\}\) .\{1,\}/\1/' > svn.txt;
cat revlist.txt | grep ^commit > git.txt;

# Join them and write the lookup table to standard output
paste svn.txt git.txt | sed -e 's/commit //' | sed -e 's/ //g' | sort -n

# Clean up
rm svn.txt git.txt revlist.txt
