Re: git-svn starting with an empty svn repository

[Pascal Obry <pascal@obry.net>]

Penny,

I've been trying to do the exact same things. I'm using Git to import
from CVS and export into a Subversion repository.

What I have done:

- I have used cvsimport for the CVS repository (no problem)

- I have created an empty repository using svnadmin

- I have imported the svn trunk into Git

- I'm cherry-picking any new commits from my cvs-imported branch
(master) into the git-svn one (named svn-trunk)

For this last point, I'm using this code sniped:

<<
for i in $(git cherry svn-trunk master | sed -n 's/^+ //p'); do
   echo Applying $i;
   (git cherry-pick --no-commit $i &&
    git log --pretty=format:"Author: %an <%ae>%nDate  :
%ad%n%n%s%n%b" -1 $i > /tmp/cm &&
    git commit --file=/tmp/cm) || (echo Cannot commit $i; exit 1)
done
>>

I'm editing the log to properly record original author and date.

There is maybe better solutions...
