I should have used '--thread' and '--in-reply-to=' when I was formating
the patches. It should be correctied this time.

Sorry for being akward :)

[PATCH 1/3] Accept root <tree-ish> in 'git-svn commit-diff'

[Sergey Yanovich]

Experiments with Subversion (my version is 1.4.2) show that it is
not necessary to call 'svn import' before the first commit. Contrarily
to the Subversion documentation, first commit may be done even when
Subversion repository is at revision 0.

This allow export the whole git branch to a Subversion repo using only
'git-svn commit-diff'. Before this patch, however, 'git-svn' had
no means to operate on root commits.

[PATCH 2/3] 'git-svndump'

[Sergey Yanovich]

A git tool to keep a subversion mirror

git-svndump is essentially a wrapper around 'git-svn commit-diff'. It
will work only when it is the sole method of committing to the
Subversion repository.

It is designed to export a linear git branch. However, thanks to the way
'git' handles source code, 'git-svndump' seems to work in other
conditions. For example, when branches are switched or merged.

git-svndump provides a solution when you need to export your source code
in Subversion format (who would need this with git :), but do not want
to have all the shackles that 'git-svn init' puts on your repository.

+==========
+
+NAME
+----
+git-svndump - Exporting from git to a single Subversion branch
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+'git-svndump' <command> [options] [arguments]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+git-svndump is essentially a wrapper around 'git-svn commit-diff'. It
+will work only when it is the sole method of committing to the
+Subversion repository.
+
+It is designed to export a linear git branch. However, thanks to the way
+'git' handles source code, 'git-svndump' seems to work in other
+conditions. For example, when branches are switched or merged.
+
+git-svndump provides a solution when you need to export your source code
+in Subversion format (who would need this with git :), but do not want
+to have all the shackles that 'git-svn init' puts on your repository.
+
+COMMANDS
+--------
+--
+
+'init'::
+	Initialize an existing git repository with additional
+	metadata directories for git-svndump.  The Subversion URL
+	must be specified as the first non-optional command-line
+	argument. 'git' tree-ish that correspond to the HEAD of
+	that Subversion URL may be specified as the second optional
+	command-line argument.
+
+-f;;
+	git-svndump normally declines to reinitialize the same git
+	repository. With the '-f' option that behavior is overridden.
+
+'sync'::
+	Commit git revisions to the Subversion repository. If a git
+	<tree-ish> is specified as an optional command-line argument,
+	than all commits between the last 'sync' and that <tree-ish> are
+	send. If the argument is omitted, the HEAD of the active branch
+	is used.
+
+--
+
+BASIC EXAMPLE
+--------------
+
+Contributing to a Subversion repository:
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+# Create your git repository, do some work and commit your  changes
+# You are working on a computer A (git.foo.org)
+# Prepare your git repository for export (you are in the top dir)
+	git-svndump-init -A .auth http://svn.foo.org/project
+# Commit the whole branch:
+	git-svndump-sync
+# Now you go a different computer B
+# Clone a git repo:
+	git clone git.foo.org:/path/to/project.git
+# Enter the newly cloned directory:
+	cd project
+# Immediately prepare the new repository for export
+	git-svndump-init -A .auth http://svn.foo.org/project HEAD
+# Do some work and commit both locally and to A:
+	git commit ...
+	git push
+# Commit the new work:
+	git-svndump-sync
+# Now you return to the computer A
+# Reinit your repository for export!
+	git-svndump-init -f -A .auth http://svn.foo.org/project HEAD
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+BUGS
+----
+
+The HEAD of the Subversion repository is not tracked. If your
+git-svndump repository goes out-of-sync with the Subversion mirror,
+the latter will most probably be corrupted.

We could probably just implement this directly in git-svn.  I'll try to
find time to take a closer look at it this weekend or the next if I
don't have time.  If you or anybody else feel comfortable doing more
work in Perl, feel free to go ahead with it.

I'm really not excited about having even more shell scripts in git.

I would be happy to help, but I don't speak fluent perl. I had real 
trouble introducing a global variable, when patching 'git-svn' for root 
commit.

The first name for this scripts was 'git-svndumb'. They don't do 
anything themselves. They just call 'git-svn'. It works like decoupling 
in object-oriented design. Old UNIX philosophy of 'big number of small 
tools'.

If you decide to incorporate then in 'git-svn', you'll need to 
contaminate it with knowledge of 'svndumb'. I am afraid, you'll need to 
peruse the whole file, putting 'if's here and there.

But, it doesn't really matter, which you way you go. I would be happy 
just to see this functionality in some future release of git.

You can make this more legible by using '0' x40 instead of repeating
40 '0' characters.  Also, it might be a good idea to support --root
directly for git-svn so the user won't have to type 40 zeroes in the
command-line :)

Same here with '0' x40

Sorry, I am not a perl expert or even user.

I did try to process '--root' in 'git-svn', but in vain. And I can 
explain, why 40 '0'. That is the only reference to root commit as an 
object that I managed to find in git - in the output of 'git-rev-list'.

If 40 '0' is not good, then it may worth to introduce a shorthand for 
it, just as we have one for 'HEAD'. 'NULL' or 'ROOT' may be. If this is 
implemented in 'git-rev-list', there will be no need to change 'git-svn' 
at all.

[PATCH 3/3] Fix large-scale exports by 'git-svndump'

[Sergey Yanovich]

* Split revision list using 'tail' shell command.

* Wrap multiple list generation in an endless cycle with 'while true'.
  Exit from cycle when the current list is empty.

* Improve handling of merges by adding '--no-merges --topo-order'i
  arguments to the list generating command.

git tool to keep a subversion mirror

[Sergey Yanovich]

I am actively using git for my project. Thanks everyone envolved.

However, I got tired of administering own web server and registered my
project at sourceforge. Unlike repo.or.cz (thanks again for everyone
envolved), they do not provide git hosting. But a project without a
source repository is non-sence.

I am not in any way going to use Subversion after I tried git, but I
need to be able to export to a Subversion repository. I found an
excellent tool called 'git-svn'. However, the flawed nature of
Subversion put shackles on normal git usage after you do 'git-svn init'.

Since git is the best scm system, my situation is probably quite common.
So I am filing these patches.

There is a 'git-svn' command which does want I need, so I created a
simple wrapper around it. I also found that 'git-svn commit-diff' is
having a small trouble dealing with root <tree-ish>, which is corrected
by an attached patch.

Absolutely right. Forgot to add a dir in the end. But I noticed that, 
and send a catch-up:

git-send-email --to git () vger . kernel.org --to normalperson () 
yhbt.net --chain-reply-to --subject "git tool to keep a subversion 
mirror" --compose --in-reply-to 11821061823423-git-send-email-ynvich () 
gmail.com /tmp/out/

Here, I replace @ with ' () ' in the above for some anti-bot protection.

However, '--chain-reply-to' seems to have failed. The patches (2 of 
them) came as top-level posts. Or I may be doing something wrong.

It is extremely difficult to tell whether the patch makes sense or is
correct, if there is _no_ explanation what it is good for.

+git-svndump(1)
+==========
+
+NAME
+----
+git-svndump - Exporting from git to a single Subversion branch
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+'git-svndump' <command> [options] [arguments]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+git-svndump is essentially a wrapper around 'git-svn commit-diff'. It
+will work only when it is the sole method of committing to the
+Subversion repository.
+
+It is designed to export a linear git branch. However, thanks to the way
+'git' handles source code, 'git-svndump' seems to work in other
+conditions. For example, when branches are switched or merged.
+
+git-svndump provides a solution when you need to export you source code
+in Subversion format (who would need this with git :), but do not want
+to have all the shackles that 'git-svn init' puts on your repository.
+
+COMMANDS
+--------
+--
+
+'init'::
+	Initialize an existing git repository with additional
+	metadata directories for git-svndump.  The Subversion URL
+	must be specified as the first non-optional command-line
+	argument. 'git' tree-ish that correspond to the HEAD of
+	that Subversion URL may be specified as the second optional
+	command-line argument.
+
+-f;;
+	git-svndump normally declines to reinitialize the same git
+	repository. With the '-f' option that behavior is overridden.
+
+-A<filename>;;
+--authors-file=<filename>;;
+	The filename is stored, and provided as an argument to 'git-svn'
+	on calls of 'git-svndump sync'.
+
+'sync'::
+	Commit git revisions to the Subversion repository. If a git
+	<tree-ish> is specified as an optional command-line argument,
+	than all commits between the last 'sync' and that <tree-ish> are
+	send. If the argument is omitted, the HEAD of the active branch
+	is used.
+
+-A<filename>;;
+--authors-file=<filename>;;
+	The filename is provided as an argument to 'git-svn'.
+
+--
+
+BASIC EXAMPLE
+--------------
+
+Contributing to a Subversion repository:
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+# Create your git repository, do some work and commit your  changes
+# You are working on a computer A (git.foo.org)
+# Prepare your git repository for export (you are in the top dir)
+	git-svndump-init -A .auth http://svn.foo.org/project
+# Commit the whole branch:
+	git-svndump-sync
+# Now you go a different computer B
+# Clone a git repo:
+	git clone git.foo.org:/path/to/project.git
+# Enter the newly cloned directory:
+	cd project
+# Immediately prepare the new repository for export
+	git-svndump-init -A .auth http://svn.foo.org/project HEAD
+# Do some work and commit both locally and to A:
+	git commit ...
+	git push
+# Commit the new work:
+	git-svndump-sync
+# Now you return to the computer A
+# Reinit your repository for export!
+	git-svndump-init -f -A .auth http://svn.foo.org/project HEAD
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+BUGS
+----
+
+The HEAD of the Subversion repository is not tracked. If your
+git-svndump repository goes out-of-sync with the Subversion mirror,
+the latter will most probably be corrupted.

[PATCH 3/3] Fix large-scale exports by 'git-svndump'

[Sergey Yanovich]

* Split revision list using 'tail' shell command.

* Wrap multiple list generation in an endless cycle with 'while true'.
  Exit from cycle when the current list is empty.

* Improve handling of merges by adding '--no-merges --topo-order'i
  arguments to the list generating command.

Please don't just repeat what can be seen in the patch anyway. Tell us
what this is good for, and which problems it solves.

It is. But project on sourceforge with source repository on repo.or.cz is
perfectly ok.

Providing subversion interface to your project might make sense, but on the
other hand you probably want your potential contributors make contributions
with git and not with subversion.

As yet another alternative you might want to go to some other hosting. Maybe
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_free_software_hosting_facilities
could be good starting point for looking for some.
