Convert a Subversion repository to git
======================================

These scripts are for converting a Subversion repository to git using
git-svn. The scripts are based on the code from the book "ProGit"
by Scott Chacon. I'm not sure about their legal status; I'd put them
into public domain.

Let's imagine you want to convert http://svn.example.org/ to git.

First, edit authors.txt. Replace my name and email with yours as the
``(no author)``. You don't want me to be the committer of your null
commit, do you?

Run

   get-authors http://svn.example.org/

Edit authors.txt again - set names and emails for committers.

Run

   clone http://svn.example.org/ [$output_directory]

Script ``clone`` tries to deduce the output directory from the given
SVN URL by using base name of the path, but in our case there is no path
so you must provide the output directory:

   clone http://svn.example.org/ example

In case of an URL like http://example.org/svn/project/ ``clone`` doesn't
need the output directory.

Run

   clone http://svn.example.org/svn/project/

and ``clone`` will happily convert the URL to ``project`` directory.
