Subject: Initializing svn repo from git
Date: Fri, 16 Mar 2007 15:40:46 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <6efbd9b70703161440h762bd340x787f3258bc8dfcdc@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi, folks.  This is probably targeted at Eric Wong, but any assistance
is welcome.  I asked on #git, and decideded that a larger audience
might be interested in this question, and whatever its answer turns
out to be.

I've been working on a project, and tracking its history in git.  Due
to lack of windows support, and windows-only developers joining my
project, my higher-ups decided that we needed to use SVN.  I expect
I'll probably use git-svn, myself, but I'm faced with a task:

I need to use the contents of my git repository, which is *very*
linear with only one branch, to fill in some history for a new, empty
svn repository.

My current steps, which isn't complete (identifiers cleaned out to
protect... well, me.)

$ git svn init  svn://server/project project
$ cd project
project$ git svn fetch
Fetching git-svn
r0 = df2d1a798e85c75b9abbfd22fe06ff651a8fa9dd
project$ git pull /git/project

    Initial commit of project



Um... now what?  Can someone walk me through this?

Oh, how I wish for a native Windows version of git.  That's the
*right* solution, I know.
