how to migrate from SVN repo to Git repo

Clone svn repository

Create a user.txt files for mapping programmers to Git:

Abc = [email protected]
bcd = [email protected]

Then run the following commands:

// If svn repo is std repo, use -s option
git svn clone svn://hostname/path --authors-file=user.txt
// update with svn repo
git svn rebase
// show svn ignore files
git svn show-ignore

##Set svn remote url in git repository

If you clone the repository from git directly, you want do update the remote svn repository directly, you need to do following configure:

Edit .git/config files, add following fields:

[svn-remote "svn"]
	url = svn://url
	fetch = :refs/remotes/git-svn
[svn]
	authorsfile = authors-transform.txt

// show commit id
git show origin/master | head -n 1
echo <commit_id> > .git/refs/remotes/git-svn
git svn fetch
