This page has the detailed steps used to convert the Lazarus SVN repro to git.


SubGIT

The initial conversion will be done using TMate Subgit.

Install

Unpack subgit to

   ~/subgit/subgit-3.3.11

Required

An author.txt file

 svn-name - git-name <email>

Run / main repro

   cd ~/subgit/subgit-3.3.11
   ./bin/subgit configure https://svn.freepascal.org/svn/lazarus laz.git
   
   gedit laz.git/subgit/config 

And add the following (the first line, replaces an existing setting)

   [svn]
     trunk = trunk:refs/heads/main
     gitCommitMessage = %message\\n\\n SVN %revision@%branch\\n
     
   [translate]  
     eols = false
     otherProperties = false
     ignores = false

The translate options prevent .gitignore and .gitattributes. Those can be translated, but will later be replaced...

   cp authors.txt laz.git/subgit/authors.txt
   ./bin/subgit install laz.git

Without skipping the gitignore/gitattributes, there will be an error at revision 47330. The process will hang. nterrupt it and editI

   lazarus.git/svn/.metadata

and set branches-maxRev and tags-maxRev to 47332 (it should be at 47330) https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18918215/skip-revisions-when-installing-subgit-repository Continue with

   ./bin/subgit install laz-bin.git

Stop the daemon

   ./bin/subgit shutdown laz-bin.git/

Run / binaries repro

   ./bin/subgit configure https://svn.freepascal.org/svn/lazarus laz-bin.git
   gedit laz.git/subgit/config 
     [svn]
     gitCommitMessage = %message\\n\\n SVN %revision@%branch\\n
     trunk = binaries:refs/heads/main
     cp authors.txt laz-bin.git/subgit/authors.txt

follow the steps above

Part 2

  • Updating gitignore
  • Prefixing all issue references with #
  • translating svn revisions to git hashes
