The projects in the incubator directory will be kept as-is.

Migration Steps

The following steps were followed for the dry run migration of the fcrepo repository. Similar steps will be followed for the final migration of each repository.

1. Initial Conversion to Git

Because git stores a name and email address per commit, the conversion needs to know this information for each subversion userid.

First, we need the list of all subversion userids:

svnadmin dump /path/to/svnrepo | grep -a -A 2 svn:author | grep -v svn:author | grep -v ^V | grep -v ^- | sort -u > authors.txt

Next, this file will need to be modified so that each line looks like:

userid = Full Name <email-address@example.org>

Now the initial converstion can be run with git-svn. It takes a very long time to run (about half a day), so should be run with screen or nohup:

nohup git svn clone file:///path/to/svnrepo --prefix=svn/ --authors-file=authors.txt --trunk=fedora/trunk --tags=fedora/tags --branches=fedora/branches 1.initial-conversion&
